I think really that most Solaris users (and BSD, and OSX), wich actually uses like i Rosegarden on any Linux partition, could be happy to use it on their preferred and first OS.
Yes, if not the requirement for ALSA I would be using FreeBSD myself
Seeing this thread, and finding out that folks over at FreeBSD is working on bringing their OSS implementation up to date has me working on building RG/trunk on FreeBSD (and possibly midi support in FreeBSD uaudio module).
I was a little surprised that code in RG is conditional on ALSA being present (is this historical only?) and there is indeed code for an OSS midi interface, so I got much much further than expected, but for some reason miss sound/MidiArts.h and class definition for RosegardenMidiRecord. I suspect the OSS version of this class was just not done/completed/comitted or it's a build style that is current untested/unfinished.
I need to sit down and study the code some, but if anyone can point me to any cheat notes or clue me in on the state of OSS/Midi, I'd certainly appreciate it. I'd love to get this working.
