So in the hypothetical situation where a soft synth application really wanted to be able to tell the world of ALSA sequencer clients about what instruments, controllers etc it had available, it would have to use some other communication layer than the ALSA sequencer? I had always assumed that was the case, but then I just thought I might not have been paying enough attention to all those other wacky event types. I guess the fact that they're not used within ALSA doesn't mean they wouldn't be delivered to any client that decided to use them for its own nefarious purposes? I suppose one could define a simple protocol for something like the above based on the existing unused instrument event types, or the existing user-defined event types... but how would you then discover whether or not a client supported that protocol?
