This OK.  But...

My take is to leave Driver.playPatch(IPatch) marked as @deprecated until
next release (0.20).  It it just call Driver.playPatch().  This does not
break any code and synth driver developer can know what's going on.


BTW I have a basic question.  Why we need playPatch() in each
synth drivers?  I think a driver independent dialog window is enough.  It
will include Torsten's MIDI sequencer.
