Re: [alsa-devel] [v7 PATCH] amidi: add sysex-interval option

Sorry to be late. I've already read this patch, then consider about whether this patch is for general purporse or not.

The basic design of 'amidi' tool is somehow generic purpose; send/receive MIDI messages to/from ALSA rawmidi devices. In my opinion, model-specific features is not so preferable to this tool.

The system exclusive messages are for the purpose to implement vendor-dependent something. So if this patch is quite unique for a small part of devices, I think it better to add isolated tools with this feature from amidi.

For my information and help of my review, please show which devices do you want to set up this tool?

Another my concern is a case that MIDI messages in a given file includes some messages except for system exclusives.

This patch adds a new option to amidi tool: sysex-interval.

It adds a delay (in milliseconds) in between each SysEx message - it searches for a 0xF7 byte.

This is very useful when sending firmware updates to a remote device via SysEx or any other use that requires this delay in between SysEx messages.

`amidi' manual was updated with an example usage as well.
