Subject: Which API for MIDI?
Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2003 10:29:44 +0100 (CET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20031210092944.0F1A05543@slik.org> (raw)

Hello folks,

I'm starting work on a new midi sequencing app, but I'm a bit confused by
the different API options ALSA offers. I've been reading whatever snippets
I can find on the web, mostly mailing list archives, and if I understand
correctly my options are basically the rawmidi API and the alsa sequencer
API. With the former I must handle all timing myself in user space and
with the latter this is all done by ALSA, is that a correct description or
am I mistaken?

My question is: if my first priority is to have stable, reliable timing
and performance, which API should I choose, taking the current state of
the alsa sequencer code into consideration?

Many thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light on this.

Regards,

Denis
