Hi Benno,
   Was sitting here working on a problem for Jaroslav. This sounded like
a nice break and a bit more fun.

   This version is much better behaved. It's no longer complaining about
lack of memory when I load this big library, and so far I cannot crash
it with the sustain pedal like before. Here's what it looks like when I
start it. I've made no changes to the code, so you are handling the
plughw thing yourself now in code. Thanks.

   Can I request that we maybe get a MIDI input hookup on the LS command
line so that I can test LS without my having to use kaconnect? That
would make things a bit easier.

At this point I can play and I get voices OK. It seems that this version
of the code maxes out at 64 voices, as far as I can tell, however the
streams seem to be set up for 100.

Note that the messages get overwritten in my xterm.

What exactly is a 'stream'? So far the stream number always equals the
voice number.

Looking better all the time.
