Hi I was going to do more testing of this earlier with a more reliable device than the MTPAV (the device is reliable, Id on't think the driver is just yet) but more stuff popped up I should get time this week.. although one question is the intel8x0 driver reliable for MIDI or should I install an old SB PCI128 (ens1371)?

Just FYI :) > --p Yes this makes perfect sense when audio is involved in MusE. However for those of us using MusE (or any other sequencer) to sequence outboard gear that is to be recorded as audio in ardour MMC makes sense and would be nice to use in the interim. Has the design of JACK transport taken into consideration MMC messages from outboard gear? cheers -- Allan Klinbail &lt;allank(a)labyrinth.net.au&gt;
