Headless finally!
QmidiNet 0.2.0 is out!
all that is to say that it may now run without the GUI, eg.
qmidinet --no-gui
QmidiNet [1] is a MIDI network gateway application that sends and
receives MIDI data (ALSA-MIDI and JACK-MIDI) over the network, using
UDP/IP multicast. Inspired by multimidicast [2] and designed to be
compatible with ipMIDI [3] for Windows.

Change-log:
- A man page has beed added (making up Alessio Treglia's work on debian,
thanks).
- First attempt to allow a headless application run mode, without GUI or
system-tray icon accessibility, with all options given as command line
arguments.
- Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.

Interesting. What sort of latency do you get?

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

you can have it all through ethernet or wireless, the latter being the

take note that it only works over the local network segment, that is: it

Performance is outstanding - as a user you would have no idea that there is
a network connection involved.

and moreover, you can have multiple computers "connected" to the same
controller without moving any cables. i don't mean simultaneously, but if
you use computer A then computer B and they are both on the same network,
they both can communicate with the controller without any replugging. a
small but lovely thing. it would have been lovely if apple (cough, cough)
had adopted this also but they rolled their own solution.

Thanks for all the info. This does indeed look seriously impressive.
However, I think I should probably asked in LAU!

AFAIK, is not possible to affirm the latency of a network application
because it depends on many factors beyond the algorithms itself (hops,
physical layer, network devices buffers, kernel options, ...).
Using UDP and multicast is probably a safe way to grant a good
communication delay but latency will depends on your network
configuration and machines involved in data traffic.
