Okay, this seems not to include information about any timer, but I could
compare it with the information from Kmidimon, that will be okay.

If I will add a dump, maybe buy using an array and if I will include
some timer information, do I have to include any other headers?

I think I can add some program code myself, that might be not good, but
good enough for my needs and maybe a step to bear down my concerns about
C/C++ and the structure of Linux.

I have to admit that I don't like Linux for audio very much, but because
it seems to be the only FOSS OS that seriously can do audio, I have no
choice, I have to use it. I more less like closed source codes and
expensive or cracked software for audio, so I have to become more
familiar with Linux, if I like to do this or not.

;)

Thanx again,
Ralf
