OK, I don't know what seq+ does, actually
I know practically nothing about that midi
stuff. But for dosemu there is only a
midi input and midi output. So as for
output, you can use it with games, sequencers,
whatever. As for input, I think (but I
may be completely wrong, since I know
nothing about midi) you can record your
midi stream to the file under linux, and
then, since dosemu already support the
midi output, you can use the dos-based
programs to edit that recorded file or
do anything else with it.
I don't know why the *recording* of a
midi file can be better under dosemu
that under linux. Even the midid, the helper
program that comes with dosemu, can record
the midi files very well.
 From that point of view I don't see the
value of implementing the midi recording
under dosemu - you should be able to use
dos-based progs even if you recorded the
song under linux.
Feel free to explain me why am I wrong
(better not CCing to linux-msdos since it
would be an off-topic here) if you would
like.
Anyway, I have implemented it already, the
patch is here, awaiting for someone's
testing:
