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-dependencies.html 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. -jef
