oh, yes... now i get it and reading around the code i must say that the MIDI metronome messages won't get through ever any plugin-chains whatsoever--they're always sent directly to (ALSA-)MIDI output ports, although you can see them blinking on the MIDI output bus mixer strip.
so i may have said some time ago that it was also fed to the MIDI master out plugin chain, now i realize i was wrong then. sorry for the mistake and for misleading you all the way since.
