Lukas,
I have tons of C programming experience and a little C++. I also have
a DSP2000 C-Port. Unfortunately I don't have any MIDI devices or know
anything about MIDI. Is there anything I can do to help?

Hi everybody and sorry for posting this to both, lad
and alsa-dev,
i was not sure which one fits better.
Concerning the issue with non-functional midi in on the DSP2000 c-port:
Someone on lau(Clemens?) said the problem is a lack of information an
how to enable some interrupts.
Matthew Skinner contacted me a couple of days ago (actualy replying to a
thread on lau, i think), offereing to provide the missing info +
additional help.
Anyone interested and able to do the required changes should contact
him: matt(a)sound-music.com
the original "dialog" is attached below. I'm sorry, it is a little
cluttered by my mail client :-) hope you can read it anyway.
Kind Regards,
Lukas

If you want to find someone with the time, knowledge and passion to write
the extra code for linux then get them to contact myself.

If you can program in c++ and want to get the
midi io working on the
cport then let me know what you need.
I doubt my programming skills are sufficient to perform ad-hoc
modifications on the alsa driver layer, at least not without a
exorbitant amount of spare time, which i currently heavily lack :-)
As for what is needed/missing: As Clemens said on lau:
Currently, this bug cannot be fixed because
nobody knows how to enable
MIDI interrupts on this card.
I'm not familiar with driver programming, so i can only vaguely guess,
that there is a lack of specifications on certain parts of the c-port
hardware.
If you can provide this information, i imagine the alsa developers would
much apreciate it. It would propably make sense to post your offer on
one of their mailing lists.
Kind regards,
Lukas
