And we need to remember that ALSA needs fixing to deal with interrupts correctly; on Pi it is a major nuisance and I hope we finally got the fixed version into the new Raspbian release coming out in the next few days. Eliot can tell about the ‘fun’ they had sorting it out at Qwaq.

We don’t seem to be able to get midi general instrument sounds either.
The mess that *nix seems to have built around sound is amazing to me.
