Benno,
   I don't know what to tell you. I built the code. It seemed to build
without any errors. It starts up looking completely normal. When the gig
file is loaded and I see the line where you count voices and streams I
then hook up my keyboard to LS using kaconnect exactly as I did before.
It acts as if it's attached according to kaconnect. However I when I hit
keys on the keyboard I do not get any response from LS. The voices and
stream count remains at 0 and I get no audio. I did not save the
previous version of LS. I built over the top of that, so I lost that
executable for testing. How can I check out a certain date of LS to go
back and make sure this is really a code issue and not a problem on my
end?

   I do see MIDI event lights on the MidiSport 2x2 that is receiving
from the keyboard, so I assume they are getting to LS.I have no reason
to expect any big problems with the machine, however my dad was here
this weekend and I was using some of my USB devices on his new PC for
test purposes, so maybe there's something going on. I'll recheck for
loose cables and the like. Don't over react. It's likely something silly
that I did. (I do this sort of stuff more than occasionally!) ;-)

   BTW - I don't know who to lobby, but once again I'll cry out that
Alsa's user interface for MIDI devices is not user friendly. The idea
that we users should remember numbers instead of having tools like
kaconnect tell me which piece of hardware we're using and which soft
synth we're attaching to is just not nice and error prone. Why should LS
be 128:0. ZynAddSubFx at 129:0. Why should these numbers change from day
to day. This just doesn't work well at all when I'm using 4 MIDI ports
and 3 soft synths. I think that when we introduce the power of LS to the
PC and Mac worlds it would be wise to have a solution to this.
