Hmm, I will give it some play around, we are talking about ".driver 2" 
which is alsa, right?

I am learning to play the bass guitar, and found midi to be one of the 
best media to learn from. I can have a view of all the instruments, and 
mute whichever that I felt is too noisy. I can also have a general view 
of how many bars are there in the song, and can easily use the mouse to 
mark the 16 bars that I would want to practice/improvise, and have 
jazzpp loop thru it so I could play my bass guitar.

I have reviewed both hydrogen and ecasound after receiving your mail, 
and still thinks jazzpp is the best tool for the work. :)
