I wouldn't like kmidi to be obsoleted by the new soundserver.
There are a couple of issues I'm worried about.  Kmidi now calls
the system soundcard driver to find out what sample is currently
being played and also to find out how much data the driver has
buffered up.  This is necessary to synchonize sound with
visual display and also to decide whether to economize on
computations in case kmidi is falling behind.  I hope I can
still get this information if I have to work through an
intermediate driver.
