In discussions at the LAC a bit of a question mark was raised over ALSA
MIDI support. A lot of people seem to be giving this up and relying on bridges
like a2jmidi for legacy software and hardware inputs. Jack MIDI is already
synchronous so should be jitter-free whereas ALSA MIDI runs on a 'best
effort' basis. Added to which Jack is available for OS X and Windows so
concentrating on this could make a possible port to other platforms more
attractive - not to me I hasten to add!
Depending on how things work out, I'm now rather tempted to leave the ALSA
stuff exactly as it is (provided it doesn't actually get in the way) and
concentrate on Jack. What are peoples thoughts? Is anyone actually routing
MIDI
via ALSA?
