have you tried the "no-zombify" switch? that's one thing which has 
changed from jack1 to jack2 iiuc: jack2 doesn't kick lame clients by 
default. qsynth might sometimes miss its processing deadline (maybe only 
when setting things up, so that its normal operations are not affected). 
jack1 will kill it unless you tell it not to, jack2 won't.

the jack1 option is "-Z", iirc.

i think using jack for everything is a lot more elegant from a technical 
POV.
and a2jmidid works perfectly for me. if you use qjackctl, you can use 
the "execute script after startup" option to auto-start it, and then 
it's Hassle-Free(tm).
