	I'm absolutely shocked to hear this.  This is the first report
of midi2 working for anybody.  Are you speaking of the sequencer are
are you doing raw midi passthrough?  (Tangentally, I'll admit that I
tried to stay away from the old model only to end up recreating the
wheel in many aspects, esp. in the seq->midi abstraction.)

	The new version does bring new features like loadable modules,
a kernel thread instead of softclock, an easier interface for
attaching new devices and it works regardless of what HZ value is
used.
