By default, amidi ignores Active Sensing messages because they are sent

I would argue that it would be better to have both options, somehow. I.e.
active sensing is mostly a nuisance, but I can imagine occasions
(analyzing the output from a sequencer perhaps) where one would want to
keep the rest of the real time messages.
Hi,
I can see your point. I have been thinking about that but my coding skills
are somewhat limited. I can image keeping the -a (--allow-realtime) option
the way it is and adding a new option -c (--allow-clock) to allow
receiving of 0xf8 midiclock messages. At the same time 0xf8 should be
filtered by default, just like 0xfe. The other realtime messages are much
less a problem because they are not sent continuously (e.g. start and
stop)
What do you think Clemens Ladich, is this doable?
