This is along the same lines as the recent question
about which API to
use for sound (to which I gave a poor answer; I repent!). What are the
options for doing MIDI? Is it best to use the ALSA library API, or is
there something better?
Personally, I've always put everything that isn't alsa-seq and jack
firmly in the category of "things I wish were alsa-seq and jack".
(That's just one man's opinion though - if you care about portability,
maybe portaudio and portmidi would be better choices)
Slightly OT digression: I always thought Jack MIDI was a really good
idea - sample accurate, less multi-API hassle, goes everywhere jack
goes. Whatever happened to that?
