Is this even technically feasible under FreeBSD, or are the differences between ALSA and our sound subsystem just too great? I've worked with Rosegarden under Ubuntu, and having this functionality greatly enhances the program's usability. Very tedious to have to continuously export one's work-in-progress to a MIDI file and play it externally, not to mention the lack of a number of user-configurable MIDI parameters (such as channel assignment, etc.) within Rosegarden. Thanks for any info. -- Conrad J. Sabatier conrads@cox.net
