qjacktl or similar tools on Linux. Then you wouldn't need Csound or csoundapi
at all."
Looking at that source code, found references to 'fluidsynth.h' which led me to
fluidsynth.sourceforge.net/api/ [towards writing an extension directly if the old code doesn't work out(?) (Arrgh, 'flext' next!)] Midi isn't the only way to use it...

related idle(?) question:
How much overhead is there from using the [csoundapi~], anyway? & does it connect to the system only through pd [as it does, & should do for audio], or can it send/receive directly to other programs, ports etc? (ie for example: python interpretor?)
