Even the rawmidi demo in alsa-lib (in 0.9.*) started sucking CPU like nothing.
The alsa 0.5.* driver I wrote for allegro worked fine, yet the 0.9.x one
doesnt.. so something changed in the drivers.. But the ALSA devs seem to be
ignoring me now.

Thats the one ;) It really sucks.. The 2MB sound font is better. ;) But then
Nothing really compares to the 141MB Fluid soundfont I found.. Though some of
the instruments dont sound quite right when listening to FF7 mids ;)
