Great.  There's no hurry -- it makes me sad to kill artsd, but I can do it.

CPU usage matters for kmidi.  Also, there's the matter of getting back
information about when sound samples are being played and how near kmidi
is to experiencing a dropout, when it can't compute the sound samples
fast enough.  Well, I guess these things can be fixed up.  I'll try to
take a more positive outlook.  I do appreciate all the work you're putting
in.
