[linux-audio-dev] The file formats

[holborn]

Hi all ...

Sorry for the english ... like always ..

Well ... recently i'm working on export gmorgan songs sequences in a Standart 
Midi File format ... hope this will be ready in a few days  ... and working 
with this .mid format ...  i think is to hard.

I understand ... in july of 1984 when the manufacturers adopts this standart 
maybe .mid was really useful ... saves lots of space etc etc ... i ignore the 
future plans of manufacturers ... but ... seeing  sequencer programs, obvius 
each one uses their own file format to work, and can only export or import 
midifiles.

I know ... linux comunity is small ... we can't change nothing of the 
manufacturer plans, maybe all of this is crazy thing,  but i really think we 
need a Standart Audio-Midi-SMPTE File Format, on witch the programs can work.    

Well i understand ... by now we need this protocols to comunicate with 
external devices ... but each day the computers are more powerfull and ... i 
read in the last days messages about syncronization of Muse with Ardour .. or 
Hydrogen ... ALSA sequencer ... and we need to doit with  a 1984 protocol?


Well you know me .. i'm a complete ignorant ... but i think we need something 
who runs almost internally in the computer for do this things. Maybe the ALSA 
guys want to do something about that? or i'm realyy crazy? :-)
