[Stk] RtMidi Freeze Computer

[Stephen Sinclair]

Hi Zach,

Can you say how you determined that RtMidi is causing the freeze?
On Linux, RtMidi pretty much just calls ALSA to do all the MIDI stuff.  
Have you ever had issues with other ALSA-MIDI applications?  (PureData 
for instance..)
Also, are you using any kind of custom kernel?  ALSA sits in the kernel 
so it could cause problems if there is a faulty driver in there.  What 
is your sound card?

By the way, any reason you haven't upgraded yet?  Feisty seems much more 
solid to me.. :)
(I understand though, there's something to be said for having a reliable 
system that hasn't changed in a year or so.)

Steve
