Re: [linux-audio-dev] Audio over Ethernet / Livewire

That would be convenient, yes. But at the implementation level there is quite a bit of difference between MIDI traffic and audio traffic. MIDI is much less forgiving of errors, or much more if you know which errors to make. You can do a lot of smart things when doing MIDI over a network that you can't do with audio, a la MWPP or whatever it's called now. That said, if you've got the bandwidth and latency issues worked out for audio, MIDI should be a piece of cake and you may not need to worry about the smart things you can do with it. FWIW, I've implemented basic MIDI over TCP/IP at [1], which is loosely based on MWPP and needs some TLC, but already outperforms aseqnet. 1. http://hans.fugal.net/music/nmidi-0.1.0.tar.gz -- .O.
