Linux Csound: Help needed !

SubjectLinux Csound: Help needed !
I'm trying to prepare the Linux version of Csound 3.47, but I'm having
trouble with the new MIDI output opcodes system from Gabriel Maldonado.
His code is fine: where I need the help is in setting up the MIDI output
code for a "typical" Linux machine. I have reached this point:

  1. I can initialize, open, and close the interface (using either
/dev/sequencer or /dev/midi);

  2. My test programs indicate the interface functions properly;

  3. I've activated code in main.c to provide the -Q flag (MIDI output
opened);

  4. But GM's opcodes aren't working yet.

Gabriel checked out my test orc/sco on his Windows system and said it
worked fine, so I know the problem is with coding the connection to the
Linux MIDI interface. I've already received much advice, written a lot
of tests, and puzzled over the soundcard API. At this point I know I
need external assistance.

Are there any Linux Csound users who can help me here ? Everything else
in the upcoming 3.47 seems to be working well, but I'd like to the Linux
version to be as full-featured as any other. I can provide sources as
well as what code I've cooked up already.

Please reply via email, thank you.
