Well, newbie blubee is asking about doing this on FreeBSD.  Seems you're 
quite often trying to steer people towards using linux instead ..

That's 4 years ago, Ralf.  Does this mean you haven't tried again with 
more recent software, incl. updates to audio and USB, mostly by hps@ ?

Perhaps with your expert knowledge of audio, and MIDI, you could help 
with development on FreeBSD, rather than saying 'use something else'?
