Actually I think there is a bug.  Here's my MIDI setup:

 Port    Client name                      Port name
  0:0    System                           Timer
  0:1    System                           Announce
 62:0    Midi Through                     Midi Through Port-0
 64:0    Audigy MPU-401 (UART)            Audigy MPU-401 (UART)
 64:32   Audigy MPU-401 (UART)            Audigy MPU-401 #2

If have gmidimon running on /dev/midi, aseqdump -p 64:0 fails with
-EBUSY, and dmesg says this:

ALSA sound/core/seq/seq_midi.c:187: midi input open failed!!!

But this should work, since gmidimon opens /dev/midi readonly:

rlrevell at mindpipe:~/cvs/alsa$ sudo lsof /dev/snd/midiC0D* /dev/midi*
COMMAND    PID     USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
gmidimon 20112 rlrevell    4r   CHR   14,2      3793 /dev/midi

Is concurrent access to MIDI by the ALSA sequencer and OSS apps really
forbidden?  The debug printk leads me to believe that this is supposed
to work.

BTW I hate GTK 1.2 so much that I took 10 minutes to port gmidimon to
gtk-2.0.  Patch is attached.  Apply it *after* running ./configure, as I
couldn't get autoconf work right as it insists on
using /usr/bin/gtk-config which doesn't exist in GTK-2.0.
