i admit that i have done a dirty job by finally making the choice 
ALSA-midi vs OSS-midi a run-time switch, but at least it is done.
i haven't done excessive testing on OSS, but i guess it should work 
fine. (at least it worked with virtual OSS-emulation devices under alsa)

what remains to be done:
probably (LATER ;-)) make all MIDI-APIs switchable at runtime, just like 
in "audio", not just OSS vs ALSA.
however, i didn't dare to do so, as i can currently compile only on linux.

i would appreciate testing very much, as i really hope that this will go 
into the main branch of pd.



the patch (i attach it, since it seems sf has some problems in the last 
days) is against pd-0.38-4, and quite some files are involved; i hope it 
will apply cleanly against pd-0.39testX.


ah yes, and i used steves bug-fixes for the alsa-midi implementation.
