Once I start MusE I see:

My MIDI tab in jack patch shows SYSTEM:
	MC12_dev0_Unknown11 -> MP12_dev0_Unknown11

The ALSA tab in jack patch shows 14:Midi Through:
	0:Midi Through Port-0 -> 0:Midi Through Port-0

When I start Muse, the ALSA tab includes 129:MusE Sequencer:
	0:MusE Port 0 -> 0:MusE Port 0

My Alesis SR-16 is connected via midi cables to my Echoaudio AF12 which is a firewire 
device (thus my reliance on Jack/FFADO).  I'm not very clear on how Jack and ALSA 
interact.

How's this look?

$ cat /proc/asound/devices
   2:        : timer
   3:        : sequencer
   4: [ 0- 1]: digital audio playback
   5: [ 0- 0]: digital audio playback
   6: [ 0- 0]: digital audio capture
   7: [ 0- 1]: hardware dependent
   8: [ 0- 0]: hardware dependent
   9: [ 0]   : control
