As per summary. |

I've introduced th emidi useflag for alsa-lib and alsa-utils in the recent |
| 4 |
versions of ALSA to enable/disable sequencer (MIDI) support, as most of home |
| 5 |
users probably wouldn't need it. Unfortunately the version of alsa-lib where |
| 6 |
midi can be disabled is still masked because there are packages that needs to |
| 7 |
be fixed not to die badly when it is disabled (for instance KMix does not |
| 8 |
complete configure because the whole ALSA test is using snd_seq_open |
| 9 |
function); also, some packages might require midi support with alsa useflag |
| 10 |
enabled (kdelibs for instance). |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
For these reasons I'd like to maintain the default out of the box behaviour |
| 13 |
consistent with the one we had before the introduction of midi useflag, |
| 14 |
leaving the users the choice to disable it entirely or partially (see bug |
| 15 |
#163531, where an user requested for alsa-driver to have a midi useflag |
| 16 |
too -- to avoid building MIDI support in ALSA kernel drivers too). |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
If nobody disagrees with this, I'll be adding midi useflag to default USE in |
| 19 |
base in three days. |
