FYI the ALSA midi code was contributed by Pablo Martin, I put the
warning into the sys_putmidibyte() function, because, as Miller says
it seemed to be a pain to implement this function correctly.

Anyhow, steve implemented the function.

Well, so far the history, see

for more. Anyhow if you want to submit a bug report, please do it against
the latest version, in this case it would have been important because the code
changed and noone is probably going to fix 0.38 devel anymore.

Get the latest version of pd from
http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/software.html

or the latest from the CVS for the devel branch.

Cheers,
