Yes; it's a problem that ALSA wants to handle each sysex as one large chunk. This problem occurs in another situation, too: in Standard MIDI files, a sysex command can be split into multiple parts to be sent at specific times, but it's impossible to do this with the ALSA sequencer. (Well, it's possible, but the documentation says that each SYSEX event must contain a complete sysex command.) I think the sequencer should be changed to allow splitting of sysex commands.
