Have you looked in the O'Reilly book "Writing Linux Device Drivers"?

Ah, maybe the alsa virmidi driver would be a helpful start?
BTW, timidity is supposed to be able to operate as an "ALSA Client" -
which looked hopeful for my Toshi with ALi5451 (has synth, but no Linux
support :-( ) but I couldn't get this to work. What do your plans include
that wouldn't be done by getting timidity working as an ALSA client?

Neale.
