[alsa-devel] [PATCH]: snd_seq_virmidi.c do not use running status for virmidi raw input

Rationale: Not every rawmidi alsa client (e.q. Bitwig) support running status on input. There is also no need for running status inside a computer.

This patch disables the removal of the status byte when decoding snd_midi_event structures to a rawmidi bytestream
