I read:
well... i have been playing with the code today and managed to add native alsa sequencer support to pure data.
great!
output, input and configuration window are working nicely, as well as most of the midi objects (theres still some midi messages i don't know -touch and polytouch, and pitchbend passes strange values).
see http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/tech/midispec.htm
if there is any interest in adding this code to pd i can provide the code, it's just an s_midi_alsa.c and some changes to the interface file. (must still touch the make system and input command line options, but would like to see what people think).
well cvs is where this should eventually go, but if you can put it up somewhere I'd be a happy labrat.
regards,
