You might check the archives because we did discuss MIDI on linux. I
remember looking at the VM code and seeing only the stub for MIDI
support. But, as I said, check the archives to see what I found, as I
can't remember right now. When I get time, I'll search too, but don't
have the time right now.
It probably wouldn't be to hard to stick in, if it's not there, if you
use portmidi.
