I presume the "a" stands for "all".

Has this feature been added to the documentation for -M?

Hi,

Yes, but only on the 5.10 manual. I've just updated the online manual
at csounds.com:

http://www.csounds.com/manual/html/index.html

I've also had a look at alsa midi and the sources are there and it's
actually not hard, but those sources are GPL, not LGPL. I would have
to rewrite the whole thing from the ALSA docs, which would not be
pleasant or create a new GPL module for alsa MIDI which I'm not sure
it's a good idea either, since it would have to be distributed
separately...

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Andrés
