The heaping majority of soundcards out here afford the same or less control, 
so far as I know.  Unless I'm missing something fundamental.  I don't think I 
am.  You're probably just used to life with that fancy card of yours.

If you ever take a notion to do that "Rosegarden counter" I threw out, it 
might be interesting to collect statistics on who uses what.  Based on what I 
see, I'd say 95% of our users have a generic AC97 soundcard, 4% have some 
kind of emu10kx and/or external MIDI gear, and 1% have a real soundcard like 
an Audiophile/Hamerfal.  I might be off on that.

Hrm.  Hey, hell, you look at a thing a thousand times without seeing the 
forest for the trees sometimes.  I do have two capture channels on this 
emu10k1, and I can control which does what presumably.  I've just always had 
them locked together.

Interesting.  I'll have to see if I can con Dad into playing and recording 
some kind of duet thing with mountain dulcimer and pluggable guitar to see if 
I can come out with anything.  Of course due to proximity issues the mic is 
going to record the pluggable guitar too, unless I play it with the speakers 
off.  Hrm.

I'll have to see about doing that playing you were suggesting about capturing 
various soft synths straight onto their own audio tracks too.

I need to go paint that porch column I just rebuilt, and take care of various 
other neglected matters today, but I'll see if I can't come up with a workout 
for this sometime in the next few days anyway.  I've figured out the how now, 
I think, just not the "WTF do I do with it."

Although now that my book is two weeks away from publication and the right I 
have to update and carry forward the "free web preview" is somewhat nebulous 
an uncertain, I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do about documentation 
going forward from here.  I keep thinking about what I'm going to put in the 
book while forgetting that the book has now been cut off, kiln dried and 
shrink wrapped for posterity.  I want to keep offering documentation 
services, but I don't want to kill my sales either.  Reconciling capitalism 
with volunteerism is difficult to reconcile, isn't it Fervent?  Oh well, I'll 
figure something out.

Ohhhhh.  Well then, it sometimes breaks the other way.  Turning off MIDI 
unnecessarily.

I can't seem to break it at the moment without changing a track type.

BTW, is multi-track MIDI in the works too?  I think we have the underlying 
capability to do that, and would just need some mechanism for routing various 
inputs to particular tracks.  Is that right?  That would be pretty damn 
spiffy really.
