Good question! I also liked to know the exact requirements for midi  
and soft synthesis of sounds for squeak on the 2b1.

As far as I understood midi is not in the focus of the October  
release, but Ian is working on an ALSA plugin which should in theory  
give one hardware based midi. But I don't know much about the details  
here.
Andreas mentioned in a previous mail that csound would be included  
with the 2Be1 and that it would be nice to have an interface for it.

Cesare Marilungo and me got some first beeps from csound triggered by  
squeak via osc.
As soon as time allows (for me it would be middle of November) I  
would love to continue working on this interface with Cesare.

Cheers,

Markus
