Well, it's a communications problem that seems to crash Wine apps as 
soon as they try to do any Midi i/o at all, so it probably doesn't 
matter.  The main one I've been using librarian programs like JSynthLib 
and SoundDiver with is an Ensoniq ESQ-1, but I also have an 
editor/librarian for a Yamaha SY99 that crashes it.  The common 
denominator seems to be trying to transmit any kind of bytes though.
