I wanted to ask, how about forcing an absolute timestamp for _every_ midi event? I think this would be great for softsynths, so they dont need to work with root/schedfifo/lowlatency to have a decent timing. Not allways you are willing to process midi at the lowest latency possible. I say because you dont really need all that if you sequence in the computer and control softsynths and maybe some external device. This way, the softsynth gets the event with the timestamp, gets the current time, substracts the audio delay (latency) to that and just mixes internally in smaller blocks processing each event in the right time.
