Yes, a lot of research has obviously been put into this library ; the
fact that it has plenty of language bindings (java, lisp, python) is
attractive also. Plus, the JMusic project provides classes for
manipulating musical data, and an interface to Midishare...
I will make some tries at it on a CCRMA box, I think.
Thanks for your feedback :-)
On a more general keynote, is it not paradoxical that when a piece of
software becomes mature enough, it tends to fade out of the general
attention ?

I work with MidiShare quite a bit, and I have to say
that if you get
it going on your system, it really is one of the nicest,
best-performing MIDI API's around .. of course the fact that it comes
with a Sequencer lib that supports up to 256 tracks is a bonus too ..
;)
That said, it may not be quite "ALSA mainstream" enough of an API to
warrant usage, but if you have control over your system and get
MidiShare.o built and in use, you've got a damn fine MIDI API,
oft-overlooked ..
