Sending midi events across the network should already work. A quick and fast
(and undocumented and *insecure*) way to get network transparency running is
to use

artsd -p 9877 -u

as server and

ARTS_SERVER=somehost:9877 artsplay /usr/local/foo.wav

on the client. You can do this with any app (such as artsdsp or artsbuilder),
and for sending midi events to the server especially "midisend" would be
interesting.

   Cu... Stefan
