Hi, IIRC the DOS version of band-in-a-box can run in dosemu, and the
windows version can run in wine. There is no MIDI out, but you can save
a midi file for further editing; however, it would be great to have a native
band-in-a-box-like program for linux, so you have all my appreciation
for such a thing.

I've bought (in the library) the italian version of Dave's book, and from the user
perspective it is very well suited and well written: a must for every
linux-audio-newbie like me, but is centered more on apps rather than
on drivers and developer information. 
For that I guess the best source are the ALSA website and related
mailing lists.


Best regards,
