Hallo,

I can use midi with -alsa and -jack as well. However Pd wants rawmidi
devices, not the ALSA sequencer, so you should make sure, that ALSA's
OSS compat. modules are loaded for midi as well (snd_seq_oss) and you
need the /dev/midi* devices.

No, you don't need any alsa.conf magic at all.

Both -jack and -alsa shouldn't affect midi operations at all. In any
case Pd will (should) look for /dev/midiXX where XX is one less then
what was specified on the -mididev command line. (-mididev 2 =>
/dev/midi1, -mididev 21 => /dev/midi20, ... )
What does pd -verbose tell?
Ciao
