Under Linux, MidiShare depends on ALSA anyway ... :-)
no it doesn't depende on ALSA, at all. you can run MidiShare without
ALSA. MidiShare -supports- ALSA (through the msAlsaSeq driver), but
it also supports plenty of other options ..
The problem is more that ALSA isn't very well
documented.
Have a look at the programs in alsa-utils/seq/.
The thing is, MidiShare rocks on all angles.
