    the putbytes of the alsa-implementation does not get called.
    the attached patch (s_midi.c, x_midi.c; pd=0.39-1-CVS)
    should fix this.
    the current alsa-implementation of [midiout] uses a kind of
    sysex-wrapper to get the raw-data through the alsa-seq
    interface; later think whether this is really a good idea,
    in the meantime it works.

    btw, since i changed the subject to not reflect the version
    number of pd, i give it here: confirmed wrong behaviour in
    pd-0.39-1 (both vanilla and devel); all pd-versions with
    alsamidi until now should be affected

    as gnter has noticed, there is a memory leak in
    sys_alsa_putmidibyte()

    attached is a patch against s_midi_alsa.c (in pd-0.39-1-CVS)
    which should fix this

    Tested [midiout] sysex output with external hardware; works
    fine.

    I don't have output with midiout in 0.40.3-extended.
    Now is this a bug or there a way around for me?
