Nope, cutting is good. ;)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's the driver, but I'm not sure what it's from. 
I have a hunch it may be how broadcast is handled, but I haven't
investigated.  Other possibilities are odd MIDI causing the mtpav to
broadcast, or just plain old bugs.

Actually, I meant the MusE CVS version as opposed to muse 0.6.0pre
something.  I'll check it out anyhow.  I've only been using ALSA CVS as
well, mostly due to the fact I want to fix the mtpav stuff where
possible.

Hmm, cool, I'll have to give it another try.  I also would like to get
the rtctimer module working in the latest 2.4 kernel, as this is
supposed to alleviate latency problems with an irregular clock.  Some
changes in the kernel's rtc seem to have similar modifications, so I
haven't gone through and seen what's what yet.

Silly Motu.  IP antics are for the RIAA/MPAA.  I'd like to know what
they expect when someone wants documentation... you made a copy of the
hardware?  Or you're considering buying it?  Or maybe you want to write
software so it's more useful and perhaps others purchase it?

I just wish Midiman made something like the mtpav.  They seem to be
great about open specs.

Hmm... I don't have any video gear to play with. :( ;)

Cool.  Good luck, I'll keep checking on progress.
