I'm excited. I'll try it in about 90 minutes. ;-)

Cheers,

Subject: [Rosegarden-devel] Devices/Instruments


Ok, after all that recent confusion and since Devices/Instruments were 
being modified anyway I decided to revamp the detection and reporting 
code for it.

Only a few smallish changes but you should now get the ALSA device name 
in the Instrument drop down - for the moment we're ignored the user 
label (the old name we had) but that will reappear soon as it's useful 
for mapping external MIDI devices to banks/programs.  Any changes you 
currently make to the device name in the bank dialog will now be lost 
too until we sort out this behaviour - this is in an effort to improve 
routing clarity in the short term.

Additionally (and semi-excitingly) new ALSA clients will now be detected 
and be made available for selection at the GUI.  So this means you can 
start up iiwusynth or timidity after RG has started and then go ahead 
and use them.  I like this behaviour better (external reaction to ALSA 
softsynths) than RG actually controlling softsynths (a la MuSE).  The 
model is currently different and until the LAD softsynth API shapes up 
I feel it's too much work to do correctly.

Both ports of Mark's RME card should now get picked up properly by the 
sequencer too.  We're yet to offer selection of recording device but 
this will only be a small piece of work now - we should do this soon.

Anyway, those of you brave enough to have CVS and with currently silent 
RGs should probably give this new version a go.  Hopefully debugging 
these issues should be a bit simpler.  If it all works of course!
