Actually no, hang on a minute. First I want to know more about why the ALSA sequencer queue doesn't work better here. It's all very well saying it's irrelevant now that it's so easy to create RT threads, but I think that's bogus. Probably a substantial majority of Rosegarden users doing MIDI only are using systems on which it isn't possible for a random user to create RT threads at all. For these users, the ALSA sequencer ought to be able to do a lot better than an ordinary unprivileged thread can. I'd like to know why it might not. I'm not at a proper computer just now, to delve through code - anyone have any more idea about this? Chris
