Please see Chris's comments about much more robust midi sequencing in the 
latest release for Rosegarden.  Apparently my problems with dropped notes
with EXTERNAL synths DO have something to do with sequencers, just as I
thought.

In this posting, assuming that I found the correct place --- had to go
there indirectly --- there is no mention of the cause of the problem.  The
description "well know(n)" appears to be overstatement.  The testing 
conditions were not specified, etc.  So there is no way for any reader
to conclude that this is due to drivers rather than sequencer.

Again,  I have never had a problem with pmidi and external synths.  No
pitch-bending drops, etc., even though they do occur with very intense MIDI
under Windows, Rosegarden, and Muse.  pmidi with external synths and emu10k1
drivers with SB Live! Value have never had a problem --- not once.

So I find the emu10k1 drivers to be fine for me so far.
