What platforms are not supported that you would like to see?  There is a

I know practically nothing about MIDI.  I would encourage you to
investigate PortMIDI and see if it would suit your needs.  I'm curious

ALSA implementation, but I have no idea how complete or usable it is.

I always read "Audiality" as "Audacity."  The names are too similar. :-)
