At this point I'm just talking about it.

From a code point of view my preference is for (b), the 
instrument-based studio thing.  Maybe.  I'm not sure about the 
implementation of (a) at the sequencer side -- it seems troublesome 
to me, though I'm a bit too tired right now to think through it 
properly.  It may be that there's no problem and specifying the 
channel and maybe even the bank and program too would be easy, or it 
may be that getting an event with no instrument but predefined device 
and channel from rosegardensequencer to AlsaDriver would be a really 
gross hack.

(b) is also probably more consistent with the rest of our GUI, in 
which we don't generally refer to channels, programs etc explicitly 
by number if we can help it.

On the other hand, I'm not sure whether the user wants to specify an 
instrument (which would have to be one of the existing ones used for 
other tracks, or else the default metronome instrument with no option 
to change the program/channel setup unless we made special GUI for 
that) or a channel (which would mean they'd have to rely on their 
synth's percussion channel or else set the synth separately for the 
program they wanted).
