So hooray for licnep :) Why doesn't he join the list and the discussion (you could forward this mail to him, [un]fortunately I don't use facebook/twitter)? has he proposed to merge his code with the main branch? I'm not sure everyone would like the GUI changes, but the midi learn feature I think really should find its way in the main branch. cheers renato _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
