VMPK can't be used or compiled in *BSD, because VMPK only supports MIDI implementations included in RtMIDI, and RtMIDI doesn't support OSS MIDI (and OSS MIDI sequencer was dropped from OSSv4, anyway). See: http://www.music.mcgill.ca/~gary/rtmidi/#linux "A decision was made to not include support for the OSS API because the OSS API provides such limited functionality". The "libsalsa" library is not an alternative for ALSA sequencer based software. The fact is that libsalsa can't be always used as a replacement of libasound2. Only very basic ALSA functionality is emulated by it. Regards, Pedro -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
