I think that's the right URL:
http://kmid2.sourceforge.net/
I've recently been in contact with the author, because we pack his
kmidimon in the Debian Multimedia Team.
To quote from his mail:
By the way: KMidimon 0.7.3 requires Drumstick 0.3.0, which is still
bundled in kmidimon's source tarball and statically linked if the
shared libraries weren't found at configure time. In the future,
when Drumstick matures enough, the library sources will be removed
from the source package. Please talk and coordinate if necessary
with the maintainers of KMetronome and KMid2, using Drumstick as
well. Are there Debian packages for them?
With regard to drumstick, he wrote:
BTW. I've fixed two problems in Drumstick 0.3.1, released yesterday.
Probably any of them would become a bug report for KMidimon 0.7.3:
1. Subscribe/unsubscribe methods from the MidiPort class are using the
ALSA function snd_seq_parse_address(), and can't distinguish between
two client names starting with the same characters, like KMid and
KMidimon. It is not possible to use KMidimon to monitor KMid output.
2. The list of available MIDI input/output ports is cached by
drumstick until a broadcasted ALSA event is received marking the cache
as dirty. It is possible that a client application like KMidimon
shows an outdated list to the user.
Both problems have been fixed in drumstick revision 165:
http://drumstick.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/drumstick?view=revrevision=165
The best solution for a dynamically linked program would be to simply
upgrade the drumstick library. But as Debian is distributing a
statically compiled KMidimon, please apply preventively a patch
before the next KMidimon release.
In other words: it's now the right time to package drumstick separately
and change the build requirements for kmidimon.
Do you mind packaging drumstick?
I'm also Cc pkg-multimedia-maintainers, perhaps somebody is interested.
Don't know if you do a lot of multimedia stuff, if so, you might want to
consider joining our team. ;)
Cheerio
