I think it would be wise to keep the OSS for a while... it's more likely to work with non-linux flavors of unix (BSD, for instance) that might someday become important. Also, I don't think in Alsa you can deliberately output non-standard MIDI messages, which you occasionally need.

hi günter, hi devs ...
günter ... did you find the reason for the memory leak in the alsa midi code? was it a problem of an older alsa version that should be obsolete now?
if it's not a problem with alsa midi code in general, is there any reason, why we should use both alsa and oss midi apis or can we savely abandon the oss code (i'm not using midi a lot, but generally i'd prefer to keep the oss code for a while)
