Hi! What exactly are you looking for? Are you looking for a midi-library, to write your own code, that can play/capture midi, or are you looking for ready-made programs, that can do that, with source-code? If you're looking for a lib to write your own code there's the original alsamidi api, Matthias Nagorni has written a small tutorial for midi and pcm. There a c++-library, which is called rtmidi, it is very small and as I heard it is easy to use. The alsa-stuff you can get at http://www.alsa-project.org. Where you can find the rtmidi lib I don't remember, but it was posted here a few weeks back. If you'relooking for already existing with source-code: again alsa is your choice, there's the aplaymidi included, you can get rosegarden, timidity and other midi-sequencers, have a look at: http://linux-sound.org for links to the mentioned software.
