Hmm, there's a question.  I would be inclined to apt-get remove the CCRMA 
package, download the sources, build, and install using "make install" rather 
than bothering with an RPM.  Probably nothing else depends on Rosegarden, so 
that shouldn't cause any consistency problems, and it can always be replaced 
by a later CCRMA RPM (Rosegarden's "make uninstall" should work fine).

Another question of course is whether you'd have all the necessary 
dependencies for building RG, rather than just installing the package.

btw, if you were going for that route, it would probably be worth using 
Rosegarden CVS rather than 0.9.9 -- it's had quite a few fixes (including 
this very workaround for synths that don't like these events, which I just 
committed).

An alternative fix would be to filter the "all sound off" events as they 
arrive at jack_fst (perhaps by modifying the jack_fst code so as to 
substitite an "all notes off" event instead), or find a way of filtering and 
modifying the MIDI events en route.  Either way, it's a bit of a pain for 
such a simple problem.
