Hmm... anybody know of "jack" rpms for fc2? It seems to be a callback based audio multiplexing server - and i dont like compiling libs...
Hmm.. guess i just do "prefix=/usr/local/jack" and hope i can persuade muse to look for jack there ;)

Hmm... Does anybody know why Fedora haven't included a simple midi-player, which simply sends things to your soundcard for rendering, which in turn plays it?? And does anybody know about a good such program?
I think the fact that you have to ask the second question, points to a reason why you have to ask the first one. If you have the hardware and the interest in playing midi files, and you can't find an appropriate software for linux that fedora could evaluate for inclusion... that should tell you something about why its not included.
here's how you can be proactive: Find software that works for what you need to do. File a bug report in bugzilla.redhat.com requesting its inclusion making a case that nothing so far in Core provides this functionality Create packages for the software and submit it for QA review at fedora.us if its not already there.
A quick google gives me: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-multimedia/2003-December/msg00099.html
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/faq/html/chapter-de... quote 3.6. Does GStreamer support MIDI ? Not yet. The GStreamer architecture should be able to support the needs of MIDI applications very well however. If you are a developer interested in adding MIDI support to GStreamer we are very interested in getting in touch with you. endquote
Are you that developer? I think perhaps you can serve your own interests by communicating directly with the gstreamer developers.

Think that is somewhat over my head ;)
But after some googling (thanks for the links, gave me some hints), ill found amSynth ( http://amsynthe.sourceforge.net/amSynth/index.html ) and MusE ( http://lmuse.sourceforge.net/ ) - which i will test out and report back to bugzilla if any of them seem "worthy".
As a welcome side-effect, we migth by inclusion of midi-sequencer progs acctually prepare the ground for more musicans to swich to linux.
