Hello.

I wrote a program to send System Exclusive Messages to my Roland XP-30
Keyboard. This program (QStage) connects to jack_umidi .
I send  a burst of 4296 events every time I load a sysex file.
I started jackd with a Midi BufSize > 4296 * 4 bytes:

$ /usr/local/bin/jackd -M 18000 -r -doss -r44100 -p256 -n3 -w16
-C/dev/dsp3.0 -P/dev/dsp3.0
And:
$ jack_umidi  -S -d /dev/umidi0.0

My program does not print "NOTE LOST", so I suppose that "maybe" I am using
the API correctly. But jack_umidi is zombiffied DPRINTing hundreds times
the same error  only after I load the second or third sysexfile (even if
its the same file).

Hundreds of theses error:
"umidi_write:160: jack_midi_event_get() failed, lost MIDI event."

So, I don't know if I am not writing to jack ringbuffer in a proper way or
if it could be a bug with jack_umidi.

How I write to jack:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void MidiControl::queue_message(struct MidiControl::MidiMessage *ev) {
   int written;

    if (jack_ringbuffer_write_space(ringbuffer) < sizeof(*ev)) {
        printf("Not enough space in the ringbuffer, NOTE LOST.\n");
        return;
    }

    written = jack_ringbuffer_write(ringbuffer, (char *)ev, sizeof(*ev));

    if (written != sizeof(*ev))
        printf("jack_ringbuffer_write failed, NOTE %i LOST.", ev->data[1] );
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
