Jörn,
this is a quick shoot from the hips, perhaps it can help:

is there a way to prevent pd from doing this? particularly in the alsa midi case, it's a really blatant misfeature, because in the presence of a software midi thru port, it will immediately create a parameter loop which will make any connected midi controller go wild and burn its motors.
If this is the case for the BCF2000 try using its "U-3" or "S-3" mode, where it will not echo the received midi data to its outputs.
The BCF2000 and the Pd sliders work very well together with feedback - not sure exactly which side does the work to allow the loopback to work well, but it does, it is possible to use those loops to give manual control from the BCF2000 at the same time as Pd sliders and calculated values are being used.
i think you misread my post - the feedback is caused by pd autoconnecting to a software midi thru port, not by the BCF.
meanwhile, i'm following michael's advice, which solves the problem at least for midi. jack autoconnection is still darn irritating, though...
