Hi, thanks for replying the "blocking read" question - it works fine with poll(). I'm using its timeout mechanism to bail out every 200msecs of inactivity. I wondered what snd_rawmidi_status_get_tstamp() is meant to return? Briefly checking out the driver midlevel, the timestamp is just ignored and setmem'ed to 0, or did I miss anything?
