[PD] midi + jack fails, oss to the rescue...[?]

[derek holzer]

Hi gang,

just realized that MIDI input to PD only works for me via OSS. That 
means that if I try to run PD with Jack, none of my MIDI devices can be 
found. Is there a reason for this? I am using a relatively recent CVS 
version of PD. Does this have anything to do with the grudge against 
ALSA that PD seems to have picked up as of late? Or is there some kind 
of trick with my alsa configuration that I have missed [alsa.conf posted 
on request]?

Starting with -mididev $anything fails to work with jack, starting with 
-alsa segfaults [again... I once had this fixed... sigh!], and 
everything seems to work fine only with these dinosaur OSS drivers. Ugh!

d.
