My understanding is that there exists an alternative to the libasound code on Linux. It would be lovely to have this properly integrated into the svn tree. My understanding is that the Mac MIDI plugin is using Carbon APIs, and hence we don't even have a MIDI plugin for the 64-bit Spur VM on Mac (the Mac Cog VMs all switched over to Cocoa precisely because there is only marginal support for 64-bit apps under Carbon). So it would be great to have the Mac MIDI supoort updated to use newer APIs and to have it work in both 32-bit and 64-bit VMs. I'm asking for volunteers; please help.</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>and indeed the Mac MIDI support appears completely broken :-(</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 6, 2016 at 9:25 AM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:commits@source.squeak.org" target="_blank">commits@source.squeak.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Marcel Taeumel uploaded a new version of Sound to project The Trunk:<br>
