Hi.
I've been trying to use midiout but it does not work
when sending sysex
because it sends 1 byte at a time.
Chatting with matju on #irc where he showed me the
source code, I think
the problem is that midiout uses ultimately
sys_alsa_putmidibyte to send
snd_seq_ev_set_sysex(&ev,1,&data)
one byte at a time
So we thought about writing an external that uses
alsa-midi functions
and he guided me the first steps.
Now, the problem is that this external would need access
to structure
midi_handle, and variables alsa_midioutfd and
alsa_nmidiout which are
defined in s_midi_alsa.c (because creating and opening
ALSA ports is
handled there). The functions provided by s_midi are not
good enough as
I need to
snd_seq_ev_set_sysex(&ev,
data_array_size,data_array)
So my question is: is it possible to write such
external? or I need to
patch the sources?
