I applied this patch in branch desiredata.

You mean that prior to applying that patch it was sending a 0 in the case 
of PPC only (well, big endian in general), but also that it had a memory 
leak which was quite cross-platform...

I applied that patch in branch desiredata.

Yes. I extended that limit to 256 in branch desiredata.

However, I don't have any alsa midi device that i can easily test on, so I 
would appreciate if someone would help me set up a fake midi driver for 
testing purposes, if that exists. (I run Linux too)
