Ok, understood; may I request that this be added to the API documentation? I
couldn't find any hint on that in the auto-generated documentation under
.../alsa-lib-1.0.20/doc/doxygen/html/rawmidi.html.

Thanks,

PS: On http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/alsa-lib/rawmidi.html the link
"example code" at the bottom of the page gives a "404 not found" - it points
at some non-existing file in .../home/alsa/tmp/cvs/...
