I'd be willing to help with any and all MidiShare
problems,
honestly. I think its a wonderful, stable, productive way to do MIDI
on Linux. If only more people knew about it, and ditched the attempt
at re-inventing a well-rounded wheel, already. The MidiShare design
lends itself to integration with JACK, for example, very, very well ..
I could be wrong about this, but I seem to recall Stephane Letz, one of
MidiShare's contributors and a colleage of its main author, telling
me/us that MidiSare did *not* lends itself particularly well to
integration into JACK.
AFAIK, MidiShare's goals are pretty much identical to the ALSA
"Sequencer", it just accomplishes them better. I don't believe that the
notion of sample-accurate MIDI handling within a processing graph that
is run in common with audio is part of its goalset.
