Audio and MIDI on DOS or Linux
I'm trying to create a synthesizer program in Euphoria that will run on all
platforms, but my main focus is either DOS or Linux because I plan to build a
dedicated box that I can use on stage and connect to a MIDI controller
(keyboard). I don't want a blOAted OS on there <cough> <WINDOWS> <cough> <cough>.
I'm leaning towards using FreeDOS because it basically boots in less time than it
takes for a motherboard to do a Power On Seft Test! A small linux distro might be
fine, too.
All I need to do is basically generate sound and output it to the sound card, at
least 44.1 k stereo with as little latency as possible. There seems to be one old
DOS sound library, and none for linux. 
As far as MIDI, I don't know of any Euphoria libraries. I think it's possible to
recieve MIDI input through a serial port, I probably just have to make an adapter
and study the MIDI specification. But that's alot harder than just using a
already-made library!
Does anyone know anything that could help me? Or have a sound/MIDI library I
could use?
