  Ok, I've got it working and I've figured out the procedure to 
reproduce the lockup.

1. Launch VMPK and set the MIDI OUT driver to SonivoxEAS.
2. Close VMPK
3. Launch JACK and Fluidsynth.
4. Launch VMPK.
5. Note, no sound, probably because SonivoxEAS is trying to talk to ALSA 
and JACK has usurped ALSA/pulseaudio.
6. Switch VMPK's MIDI OUT to ALSA.
7. Lockup.

  It's possible this isn't an Ubuntu thing.  Might be a legit VMPK issue.

  At any rate, I've got a workaround (make sure you switch to ALSA when 
JACK/fluidsynth are not running), so I'm good.  Let me know if you want 
me to do any further testing.

Ted.
