[Linuxsampler-devel] Cross-platform

[Tobias E. <t.e...@gm...>]

Hi everyone,

I haven't had much time lately for "private excursions" into
programming, so the cross-platform integration of linuxsampler
into the WIN32 environment was held back.

And still it is not THAT much better now. But due to the fact,
that I need to explore some fields of driver-development
for my job, I have started developing a WIN32 kernel-
driver for MIDI that is compliant to the upcoming IEEE P1639
standard.  This standard is based on DMIDI which is a
distributed MIDI implementation for Linux from Phil Kerr.

There is already a linux-client - but it seems there is no
ALSA DMIDI/P1639 driver yet. Perhaps someone with
more Linux-knowledge would do this part.

I hope to get an initial version of this driver ready during
the next couple of weeks.  If linuxsampler would expose
some kind of sysex-interface to the outside-world for
configuration, I could even provide a GUI tool for config
that would run over the network-midi (or possibly standard-
midi if someone wishes to do so).

What do you guys think of this? I know this is not yet a
full-blown integration also including the audio-streams,
but it would be a start...
