Matthias, Thank you for the suggestion. Your howto is exactly the information
I need. Very nice. The code I was working with before is callback based. Do
you have any opinion about callback vs. polling in regards to the alsa
sequender? Do you think I will get less overhead if I use bits of the code in
your howto in the callback framework? Thanks. -Garett
Discussed this briefly with Takashi (author of ALSA sequencer). Currently
there is no wrapper library implemented, so the polling method I use in my
MIDI examples is the only way to handle the asynchronous MIDI events.
If you want, you can regard the "midi_route" function as callback
function. You could even write a wrapper function yourself which has a
function pointer as argument, the while(1) { poll (... } as body and will
call its argument function whenever poll returns, indicating that a new
MIDI event is available for read.
