There is no jack plugin, that I've seen.
Florian write an ALSA Midi port, which is in the OLPC branch:
http://squeakvm.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/branches/olpc/platforms/unix/plugins/MIDIPlugin/I don't know what the thinking is of getting this moved to the main unix
VM. I don't know if it even works. Florian might know (copied).
I've posted this to the VM mailing list. Maybe someone knows the
thinking about the plugin and also the strategy of moving the OLPC work
to main.
