Can you confirm whether these are Sysex > commands or can be used with a normal (non MIDI file) event stream? Ah, silly me :-( Yes, of course. The text events could only be useful when playing a .mid file, but never in real-time midi. It really is only a SysEx that can handle an arbitrary-length text-string in real-time .... These are the events that ALSAMIDI (ie: realtime) recognises: http://alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/alsa-lib/group___seq_events.html including SND_SEQ_EVENT_SYSEX but no text-events.
