threadless alsaseq midi driver

Hi!
New version of alsaseq driver uses only 1 thread, to manage
hotplug
port creation/destruction.
All I/O operations are now done inside jack process
functions.
Timing is provided by alsaseq.

The code became 6kb smaller, and much easier to understand
and maintain.

In short, it is a good move.

It still reflects all alsaseq ports, not only hardware
ones.
I suppose this should be controlled by a command-line switch
(OR a
separate bridge client, you decide).

Warning, midi branch has jack_midi_ API without nframes
parameters, so
your applications may need an update. It is trivial,
though.


Please, test it as hard as you can 

There are 3 others issues to solve, before it gets into
mainline:
1) test & fix rawmidi driver
2) provide command line options
3) solve big sysex problem (i'll post my proposal in a
separate
letter, please do not clutter this thread).

So, let's devote this thread to discussion of alsaseq
driver.

Waiting for your results/comments,

Dmitry.

Any news on why the interface ports were broken?  If the API
is going to
break, I'm a bit screwed still using your old pre-branch
patch...

Please, send me the patch your are using 
Sounds funny, but it's the only way to be sure we are
talking about
the same thing.

Fixed in 1019. (I know you know, it's for others and the
history).
