Ack, i would definetly go with midi output. This makes setting the
program up a little more difficult for the user (as he has to connect
the midi to something, either a hardware midi synth or a softsynth
(autoconnecting is imho not the right thing to do)). To the OP:
Programming ALSA seq is pretty straightforward, but you might also take
a look at TSE3 [which is a cross platform midi lib]. Alternatively i
think fluidsynth is available in library form, so it can be integrated
into programs..
