Note also that the JACK audio server now includes a MIDI transport layer in its latest SVN. JACK is more portable than ALSA, and the MIDI layer should be more readily adaptable to whatever platform MIDI back-end you're using than Rosegarden is. An ideal strategy for porting Rosegarden MIDI support to another platform would be to first ensure that JACK and JACK-MIDI work on that platform (thus benefitting all sorts of other applications) and then create a JACK MIDI I/O driver for Rosegarden. (Rosegarden has a JACK driver, but this is a sub-unit for audio only and is not a subclass of SoundDriver. Rosegarden in fact confuses the matter by treating the JACK driver as the audio part of the ALSA driver, even though JACK itself has no particular dependency on ALSA. Revision of this design may be in order if we ever want to add support for JACK MIDI -- which we do, although at the moment it falls into the category of things we aren't likely to have the time to look at before the next ice age or thereabouts. So if anyone else wants to, they can feel free.)
