No, I agree with you. In fact, I don't need the raw midi devices at all, as
the sequencer API can do all and more.
My question was if I made a mistake or I am forgiving something, or if it is a
limitation on ALSA OSS emulation. Only trying to deeply test the new
snd-usb-midi driver. And for the fun of doing the things in several different
ways.
As an example, and only for fun, this is a bash script for cron (hourly, of
course) that plays thru raw midi devices without any special program.
Best regards,
