I guess, you want ALSA sequencer to get any sound of RGm right? :) Well, there is no ALSA for Mac OS X. We have to wait for midi-over-jack implementation to make it possible or use PortMidi. 2. Porting RG to Mac OS X will make Mac users deal with fink and KDE libs (at least libs). 3. Porting RG tp Mac OS X will make RG developers buy Mac hardware (probably possible, if some donates hardware, at least Mac Mini which is $499 or so) _or_ use PearPC, which is still in its infancy, though Alessandro Cominu, the author of Hydrogen, is known as the guy who ports this drum machine to Mac OS X using PearPC. > I can't even find a place one could buy Mac KDE.

X11 is shipped with Mac OS X at least since 10.3.3. Kdemultimedia is not needed for Rosegarden.
