[PD] notein and noteout operation discrepancy

[Long, Steve]

hi miller,

i really appreciate you taking the time to lend me a hand.  (un)fortunately
i already found the problem, there was a bug in the alsa midi patch.  in
sys_putmidimess the output port was hard coded to zero, and replacing the 0
with the appropriate port variable did the trick.  i've been holding out on
posting an update because i also plan on fixing the sys_putmidibyte function
in the alsa midi patch if i can.  that might take some time, as i'm new to
the alsa api and still pretty green with linux in general, but i'm shooting
for early july.  i'll let you know how it goes.

-steve

Hi Steve,

I can't reproduce this (but I only have one MIDI output, just tried to
output to channel 17 and got nothing.)  I'ts possible to open the same
MIDI device twice in Linux, although I don't see how your arguments
could really have done that... just as a guess, try outputs
1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
and see if that helps?

cheers
Miller
