I had also intention to install KDE on my system to compile Brahms,
and maybe package it. But of course, if you want to take it, its yours
(in fact I am yet through new-maintainer).

I think that would be great. Is there some kind of "streaming" daemon,
like esd, but capable of integrating different MIDI streams to a
single MIDI device? (or is esd capable of that?) That would be really
nice, and a good starting point to allow programs to exchange MIDI
data. Is anybody at KDE or GNOME (or anywhere) working on that?
¿And what about Mpeg 4 Structured Audio? There are very few tools for
it yet, but it is a promissing music/sound format (MIDI is almost
a subset of it, and it can also replace the best "tracker" formats). I
know about these tools:
-saolc, by Eric Schreiner (reference implementation).
http://sound.media.mit.edu/~eds/mpeg4/
-sfront, by John Lazzaro.
http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~lazzaro/sa/
They are both command line interpreters. Saolc might have license
issues (I will take a closer look at it soon), but sfront is GPL'ed. I
ITP'd it some time ago, but John told me he would rather release
debian packages himself from his web page (and he is doing so now).
