Which version of csound are you using?  Sounds like you have an old
binary.

Yep, that would be the University at Amsterdam and the URL is

something i've found quite useful (i-m also starting anew here...) is the
ACCCI (Amsterdam Catalogue of Csound Computer Instruments). it has lots of
models of instruments you can investigate and variate upon, dealing with
different synthesis models, etc. the only thing i missed were some granular
examples, but i managed to find some of those via Cmask.

I have, and unfortunately it doesn't work. I tried on Linux 2.0.30 and
2.1.47, select() fails to return the proper status and neither does poll()

I found a pretty decent solution though. Since I wanted to keep the
OSS/Free driver I just hacked out the blocking code in
/usr/src/linux/drivers/sound/midibuf.c. The changes I made included
commenting the midi_parms structure, the prech_timeout statement in
MIDIbuf_open, and the other prech_timeout statement and its associated
block of code (first if statement) in MIDIbuf_read. You could probably
just alter that single if statement, but I felt like getting rid of all
the related code.

With these changes, read() returns immediately whether or not there is
data waiting, corresponding with the way csound expects it to work.

I suppose it might break the functionality of other midi programs on
Linux, but I dont know; csound is all I plan on using. Lemme know if
anyone has any success with the modified midibuf and realtime csound,
