Hi,

I think it may be related to the fact that amsynth blocks on 
snd_seq_event_input instead of using some form of polling mechanism,
as show in e.g.: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/MIDI-HOWTO-9.html .

Right now it tries to interrupt it with pthread_kill, but I'm not so sure this 
actually works correctly in alsa.

The following discussion is related to this:

Thoughts? If you agree I'm willing to write a patch for this.

Joost
