[note to AVT folk -- several other MIDI-over-IP developers on the LAD
list surfaced, an extensive discusion on the two major potential
change areas of MWPP -- high-bandwidth MIDI streams and MIDI System
commands -- followed.]
Hi LAD-folk,
Thanks for all of the MWPP-related comments -- I think I
have a better understanding of the issues people have brought up.
My plans now are to revisit the MWPP document in mid-January, with
the hopes of making a few passes at incorporating the ideas discussed
before IETF 53 in Minneapolis. I'll post a pointer here on LAD when
the new document starts to take shape, for comments ...
One quick comment on Phil's last message:
> I've written some code to demonstrate
> DMIDI, someone write the same for MWPP, and lets get coding.
Sfront's been shipping with MWPP since October, and we have
a SIP server set up at Berkeley to manage sessions. See this chapter
of the sfront manual for networking details:
http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~lazzaro/sa/sfman/user/network/
And see:
http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~lazzaro/sa/
to download the software. Note that you don't need a second
player or a MIDI keyboard to test out MWPP with sfront -- it includes
demos that use the ASCII keyboard as a MIDI controller, and which lets
you bounce packets off of Berkeley. As long as you're running Linux
(its written for OSS <duck> but reports are ALSA OSS compatibility mode
works fine, and it does include several ALSA drivers for MIDI in), and
are not behind a firewall you don't control, you can try it out.
