It wouldn't solve the audio problems though.  I've found it utterly impossible 
to deliver consistently useful performance without a hacked kernel.  Having 
said that, even with a hacked kernel and a fast PC, I think you're better off 
doing the bulk of your MIDI playback in hardware.  A $20 emu10k1 (SB Live! 
Value Edition) seems a good investment.

And all-around de-bitchy-fying everything.  It's still *way* too hard.

It should find everything you already have and mount it automagically.

I haven't played with it exhaustively, but it seems like the kind of thing I 
definitely wish had been around a couple years ago.  I probably would have 
been more than content to remain in userland and never would have gotten 
involved with all this developer nonsense if that hadn't been the only way 
(other than waiting nearly three years) to get where I wanted to be.

(Actually, I still had to wait nearly three years.  It was just easier to wait 
while I was involved in some trivial way in making progress toward the goal.)
