Some questions about USB MIDI driver

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Since I have no USB MIDI devices other than a basic USB/MIDI converter, I
can't find the answers to the following questions experimentally, but I'd
like to know how the USB MIDI driver in ALSA deals with certain features
that I might like to put into a USB MIDI device of my own. Perhaps someone
here already knows the answers to these questions, so I don't have to spend
a lot of time decoding the source:

1) If a USB MIDI device has two or more MIDIStreaming interfaces, are these
represented as separate /dev/snd/midi* devices?

2) If a MIDIStreaming interface has two or more in/out endpoint pairs
referring to embedded MIDI OUT/IN jacks, are these represented as separate
devices?

3) If a USB MIDI device sends MIDI messages to the host using virtual cable
numbers other than zero, how are these bytes differentiated in the data read
from /dev/snd/midi*? Or are they simply discarded?
