Hi, msAlsaSeq, an ALSA driver for the Linux version of Grame's MidiShare (http://www.grame.fr/MidiShare/), is now available in MidiShare cvs (http://www.grame.fr/MidiShare/SCPP/dev.html). You can find it in the development branch (-r dev) in the src/linux/drivers/alsa directory. The driver lets you connect to ALSA devices and other ALSA sequencer clients from MidiShare applications. It can be used instead of the msRawMidi, msRawSerial and msInetDriver clients if you're running ALSA instead of plain ol' OSS (which you should ;-). It also allows you to map ALSA client ports to corresponding MidiShare ports. A manpage is included. Please direct comments and bug reports to the midishare-dev list or Dr.Graef(a)t-online.de. Enjoy!
