	Currently, rosegarden only 'sortof' works. It is not capable of
recording from the external port. The authors seem to be sgi based, so
there lower level stuff is completely different from ours. That's why
rosegarden uses playmidi for output...sort of a hack, really!

	that would defunitely be Mike Durians' tclmidi. His driver is
*different* from the standard drivers, but he is notoriously helpful!

	greg wolodkin wrote a sequencer with tclmidi. It is not as
sophisticated as rosegarden. it does work as expected however.

do a web search, u should be able to find it.

write me back if u cant find it.
