Hi,

First of all I would like to thank you for this! I use VMPK quite
a lot and it is nice to see a "simpler" alternative without all the
dependencies.

I added basic support for ALSA, which works on my machine at least. See
attached patch.
(fair warning: I haven't used the ALSA sequencer API before)

There seems to be some BSD-specific things in your code (u_char, for
instance) which I had to change to make svmidi compile, but I haven't
included this in the patch since it would distract from the ALSA
support itself.

Cheers,

Johnny
