"However the ALSA API is still almost completely undocumented
(after three years of it’s release) so how can anybody expect
that programmers could develop good applications based on it."

Yeah. The ALSA API is also fully documented, but some parts are still in a
work in progress state...

"The real problems started few months after that when I tried to
document the sequencer/music interface. [...] Due to lack of
time I gave up but promised to write the documentation later."
Quote4:
"The bad news is that there is no MIDI support in OSS 4.0. There
are few bugs in the MIDI code and we decided to ship OSS 4.0
without it [...] MIDI support will be included in OSS 4.1
(hopefully within this year)."
OK, lets talk about MIDI after some months.
