I didn't mean you. I meant that anyone interested in announcing linux audio to the world should wait until this level of functionality is present. I'm not suggesting that anyone delay development of the gizmo. The closest thing that I have used is OMS on the mac. It's quite different than a jack environment but it does allow me to save synth midi routings and send/receive channels, and provides synth names to midi apps so I can refer to them directly in my sequencer app. Tom
