[DSSI] Need additional info from soft-synths

[Anthony G. <gr...@re...>]

Hi,

	I'm writing a generic DSSI synth service provider for javax.sound.midi
which was mentioned recently on this list.

	The java Synthesizer API has features I'm not sure how to implement
with the current DSSI interface.  For instance, I need to:

- query the maximum polyphony for a synth
- for each voice (up to max polyphony) get the following:
	- is the voice currently processing a MIDI note?
	- the channel for this voice when active
	- the bank of the voice when active
	- the program for the voice when active
	- the note for this void when active
	- the volume for this voice when active

	This all seems like generically useful info.  Is there any way to get
it via the current API?

	If not, would you consider extending the API to provide this info?

Thanks,

AG
