Jaroslav, Please would you wait and not release ALSA 1.0 until the OSS-mode MIDI sequencer is either working (I do not mean the ALSA-mode MIDI sequencer which is working fine) or my bug report has been invalidated. I posted a very long and detailed message about this bug 5 months ago but nobody has replied either to confirm the bug or to explain how to solve it.
My post confirming the bug exists despite trying various suggestions: http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/12349/2002/11/50/10175805/ If anyone looks at this bug, _please_ download my statically linked OSS sequencer software (Rosegarden) to test ALSA's OSS-mode sequencer with a MIDI keyboard: http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/12349/2002/11/50/10178064/ (it is no good testing ALSA's ALSA-mode sequencer because that certainly works; also, if you do not have a MIDI keyboard, you will not be able to test the bug properly). By the way, I need to use ALSA's OSS-mode sequencer so as to use Rosegarden (still the best Linux software for large-scale score-based composition). I first reported a possible bug in August 2002: http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/12350/2002/8/300/9242078/ and I followed up to confirm the bug and that the suggestions don't work: http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/12349/2002/8/0/9412777/ and http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/12350/2002/8/100/9396683/ I sincerely hope I am wrong and there is really no bug that could hold up ALSA 1.0 but in which case I'd appreciate your help in understanding how I should use ALSA's OSS-mode sequencer with a MIDI keyboard. Thanks to anyone who can solve this longstanding problem.
