/*! \page seq Sequencer interface

\section seq_general Genral

The ALSA sequencer interface is designed to deliver the MIDI-like
events between clients/ports.
A typical usage is the MIDI patch-bay.  A MIDI application can be
connected arbitrarily from/to the other MIDI clients.
The routing between clients can be changed dynamically, so the
application can handle incoming or outgoing MIDI events regardless of
the devices or the application connections.

The sequencer core stuff only takes care of two things:
scheduling events and dispatching them to the destination at the
right time.  All processing of MIDI events has to be done within the clients.
The event can be dispatched immediately without queueing, too.
The event scheduling can be done either on a MIDI tempo queue or
on a wallclock-time queue.

\section seq_client Client and Port

A <i>client</i> is created at each time #snd_seq_open() is called.
Later on, the attributes of client such as its name string can be changed
via #snd_seq_set_client_info().  There are helper functions for ease of use,
e.g. #snd_seq_set_client_name() and #snd_seq_set_client_event_filter().
A typical code would be like below:
\code
// create a new client
snd_seq_t *open_client()
{
        snd_seq_t *handle;
        int err;
        err = snd_seq_open(&handle, "default", SND_SEQ_OPEN_INPUT, 0);
        if (err < 0)
                return NULL;
        snd_seq_set_client_name(handle, "My Client");
	return handle;
}
\endcode

You'll need to know the id number of the client eventually, for example,
when accessing to a certain port (see the section \ref seq_subs).
The client id can be obtained by #snd_seq_client_id() function.

A client can have one or more <i>ports</i> to communicate between other
clients.  A port is corresponding to the MIDI port in the case of MIDI device,
but in general it is nothing but the access point between other clients.
Each port may have capability flags, which specify the read/write
accessbility and subscription permissions of the port.
For creation of a port, call #snd_seq_create_port()
with the appropirate port attribute specified in #snd_seq_port_info_t
reocrd.

For creating a port for the normal use, there is a helper function
#snd_seq_create_simple_port().  An example with this function is like below.
\code
// create a new port; return the port id
// port will be writable and accept the write-subscription.
int my_new_port(snd_seq_t *handle)
{
	return snd_seq_create_simple_port(handle, "my port",
			SND_SEQ_PORT_CAP_WRITE|SND_SEQ_PORT_CAP_SUBS_WRITE,
			SND_SEQ_PORT_TYPE_MIDI_GENERIC);
}
\endcode

\section seq_memory Memory Pool

Each client owns memory pools on kernel space
for each input and output events.
Here, input and output mean
input (read) from other clients and output (write) to others, respectively.
Since memory pool of each client is independent from others,
it avoids such a situation that a client eats the whole events pool
and interfere other clients' responce.

The all scheduled output events or input events from dispatcher are stored
on these pools until delivered to other clients or extracted to user space.
The size of input/output pools can be changed independently.
The output pool has also a room size, which is used to wake up the
thread when it falls into sleep in blocking write mode.

Note that ports on the same client share the same memory pool.
If a port fills the memory pool, another can't use it any more.
For avoiding this, multiple clients can be used.

For chancing the pool size and the condition, access to #snd_seq_client_pool_t
record.  There are helper functions, #snd_seq_set_client_pool_output(),
#snd_seq_set_client_pool_output_room() and #snd_seq_set_client_pool_input(),
for setting the total output-pool size, the output-room size and the input-pool
size, respectively.

\section seq_subs Subscription

One of the new features in ALSA sequencer system is <i>subscription</i> of ports.
In general, subscription is a connection between two sequencer ports.
Even though an event can be delivered to a port without subscription
using an explicit destination address,
the subscription mechanism provides us more abstraction.

Suppose a MIDI input device which sends events from a keyboard.
The port associated with this device has READ capability - which means
this port is readable from other ports.
If a user program wants to capture events from keyboard and store them
as MIDI stream, this program must subscribe itself to the MIDI port
for read.
Then, a connection from MIDI input port to this program is established.
From this time, events from keyboard are automatically sent to this program.
Timestamps will be updated according to the subscribed queue.
\code
        MIDI input port (keyboard)
            |
            V
        ALSA sequencer - update timestamp
            |
            V
        application port
\endcode

There is another subscription type for opposite direction:
Suppose a MIDI sequencer program which sends events to a MIDI output device.
In ALSA system, MIDI device is not opened until the associated MIDI port
is accessed.  Thus, in order to activate MIDI device, we have to subscribe
to MIDI port for write.
After this connection is established, events will be properly sent
to MIDI output device.
\code
        application port
            |
            V
        ALSA sequencer - events are scheduled
            |
            V
        MIDI output port (WaveTable etc.)
\endcode

From the viewpoint of subscription, the examples above are special cases.
Basically, subscription means the connection between two arbitrary ports.
For example, imagine a filter application which modifies
the MIDI events like program, velocity or chorus effects.
This application can accept arbitrary MIDI input
and send to arbitrary port, just like a Unix pipe application using
stdin and stdout files.
We can even connect several filter applictions which work individually
in order to process the MIDI events.
Subscription can be used for this purpose.
The connection between ports can be done also by the "third" client.
Thus, filter applications have to manage
only input and output events regardless of receiver/sender addresses.
\code
        sequencer port #1
            |
            V
        ALSA sequencer (scheduled or real-time)
            |
            V
        sequencer port #2
\endcode

For the detail about subscription, see the section \ref seq_subs_more.

\section seq_events Sequencer Events

Messaging between clients is performed by sending events from one client to
another. These events contain high-level MIDI oriented messages or sequencer
specific messages.

All the sequencer events are stored in a sequencer event record,
#snd_seq_event_t type.
Application can send and receive these event records to/from other
clients via sequencer.
An event has several stroage types according to its usage.
For example, a SYSEX message is stored on the variable length event,
and a large synth sample data is delivered using a user-space data pointer.


\subsection seq_ev_struct Structure of an event

An event consists of the following items:
<ul>
<li>The type of the event
<li>Event flags.  It describes various conditions:
  <ul>
  <li>time stamp; "real time" / "song ticks"
  <li>time mode; "absolute" / "relative to current time"
  </ul>
<li>Timestamp of the event.
<li>Scheduling queue id.
<li>Source address of the event, given by the combination
  of client id and port id numbers.
<li>Destination address of the event.
<li>The actual event data. (up to 12 bytes)
</ul>

The actual record is shown in #snd_seq_event_t.
The type field contains the type of the event
(1 byte).
The flags field consists of bit flags which
describe several conditions of the event (1 byte).
It includes the time-stamp mode, data storage type, and scheduling prority.
The tag field is an arbitrary tag.
This tag can used for removing a distinct event from the event queue
via #snd_seq_remove_events().
The queue field is the queue id for scheduling.
The source and dest fields are source and destination addresses.
The data field is a union of event data.

\subsection seq_ev_queue Scheduling queue

An event can be delivered either on scheduled or direct dispatch mode.
On the scheduling mode, an event is once stored on the priority queue
and delivered later (or even immediately) to the destination,
whereas on the direct disatch mode, an event is passed to the destination
without any queue.

For a scheduled delivery, a queue to process the event must exist.
Usually, a client creates its own queue by
#snd_seq_alloc_queue() function.
Alternatively, a queue may be shared among several clients.
For scheduling an event on the specified queue,
a client needs to fill queue field
with the preferred queue id.

Meanwhile, for dispatching an event directly, just
use #SND_SEQ_QUEUE_DIRECT as the target queue id.
A macro #snd_seq_ev_set_direct() is provided for ease
and compatibility.

Note that scheduling at the current or earlier time is different
from the direct dispatch mode even though the event is delivered immediately.
On the former scheme, an event is once stored on priority queue, then
delivered actually.  Thus, it acquires a space from memory pool.
On the other hand, the latter is passed without using memory pool.
Although the direct dispatched event needs less memory, it means also
that the event cannot be resent if the destination is unable to receive it
momentarily.

\subsection seq_ev_time Time stamp

The timestamp of the event can either specified in
<i>real time</i> or in <i>song ticks</i>.
The former means the wallclock time while the latter corresponds to
the MIDI ticks.
Which format is used is determined by the event flags.

The resolution of real-time value is in nano second.
Since 64 bit length is required for the actual time calculation,
it is represented by
a structure of pair of second and nano second
defined as #snd_seq_real_time_t type.
The song tick is defined simply as a 32 bit integer,
defined as #snd_seq_tick_time_t type.
The time stored in an event record is a union of these two different
time values.

Note that the time format used for real time events is very similar to
timeval struct used for unix system time.
The absurd resolution of the timestamps allows us to perform very accurate
conversions between songposition and real time. Round-off errors can be
neglected.

If a timestamp with a
<i>relative</i> timestamp is delivered to ALSA, the
specified timestamp will be used as an offset to the current time of the
queue the event is sent into.
An <i>absolute</i> timestamp is on the contrary the time
counted from the moment when the queue started.

An client that relies on these relative timestamps is the MIDI input port.
As each sequencer queue has it's own clock the only way to deliver events at
the right time is by using the relative timestamp format. When the event
arrives at the queue it is normalised to absolute format.

The timestamp format is specified in the flag bitfield masked by
#SND_SEQ_TIME_STAMP_MASK.
To schedule the event in a real-time queue or in a tick queue,
macros #snd_seq_ev_schedule_real() and
#snd_seq_ev_schedule_tick() are provided, respectively.

\subsection seq_ev_addr Source and destination addresses

To identify the source and destination of an event, the addressing field
contains a combination of client id and port id numbers, defined as
#snd_seq_addr_t type.
When an event is passed to sequencer from a client, sequencer fills
source.client field
with the sender's id automatically.
It is the responsibility of sender client to 
fill the port id of source.port and
both client and port of dest field.

If an existing address is set to the destination,
the event is simplly delivered to it.
When #SND_SEQ_ADDRESS_SUBSCRIBERS is set to the destination client id,
the event is delivered to all the clients connected to the source port.


A sequencer core has two pre-defined system ports on the system client
#SND_SEQ_CLIENT_SYSTEM: #SND_SEQ_PORT_SYSTEM_TIMER and #SND_SEQ_PORT_SYSTEM_ANNOUNCE.
The #SND_SEQ_PORT_SYSTEM_TIMER is the system timer port,
and #SND_SEQ_PORT_SYSTEM_ANNOUNCE is the system
announce port.
In order to control a queue from a client, client should send a
queue-control event
like start, stop and continue queue, change tempo, etc.
to the system timer port.
Then the sequencer system handles the queue according to the received event.
This port supports subscription. The received timer events are 
broadcasted to all subscribed clients.

The latter port does not receive messages but supports subscription.
When each client or port is attached, detached or modified,
an announcement is sent to subscribers from this port.

\subsection seq_ev_data Data storage type

Some events like SYSEX message, however, need larger data space
than the standard data.
For such events, ALSA sequencer provides seveal different data storage types.
The data type is specified in the flag bits masked by #SND_SEQ_EVENT_LENGTH_MASK.
The following data types are available:

\par Fixed size data
Normal events stores their parameters on
data field (12 byte).
The flag-bit type is  #SND_SEQ_EVENT_LENGTH_FIXED.
A macro #snd_seq_ev_set_fixed() is provided to set this type.

\par Variable length data
SYSEX or a returned error use this type.
The actual data is stored on an extra allocated space.
On sequecer kernel, the whole extra-data is duplicated, so that the event
can be scheduled on queue.
The data contains only the length and the
pointer of extra-data.
The flag-bit type is  #SND_SEQ_EVENT_LENGTH_VARIABLE.
A macro #snd_seq_ev_set_variable() is provided to set this type.

\par User-space data
This type refers also an extra data space like variable length data,
but the extra-data is not duplicated but
but referred as a user-space data on kernel,
so that it reduces the time and resource for transferring
large bulk of data like synth sample wave.
This data type, however, can be used only for direct dispatch mode,
and supposed to be used only for a special purpose like a bulk data
transfer.
The data length and pointer are stored also in
data.ext field as well as variable length data.
The flag-bit type is  #SND_SEQ_EVENT_LENGTH_VARUSR.
A macro #snd_seq_ev_set_varusr() is provided to set this type.

\subsection seq_ev_sched Scheduling priority

There are two priorities for scheduling:
\par Normal priority
If an event with the same scheduling time is already present on the queue,
the new event is appended to the older.
\par High priority
If an event with the same scheduling time is already present on the queue,
the new event is inserted before others.

The scheduling priority is set in the flag bitfeld masked by #SND_SEQ_PRIORITY_MASK.
A macro #snd_seq_ev_set_priority() is provided to set the mode type.

\section seq_queue Event Queues
\subsection seq_ev_control Creation of a queue

Creating a queue is done usually by calling #snd_seq_alloc_queue.
You can create a queue with a certain name by #snd_seq_alloc_named_queue(), too.
\code
// create a queue and return its id
int my_queue(snd_seq_t *handle)
{
	return snd_seq_alloc_named_queue(handle, "my queue");
}
\endcode
These functions are the wrapper to the function #snd_seq_create_queue().
For releasing the allocated queue, call #snd_seq_free_queue() with the
obtained queue id.

Once when a queue is created, the two queues are associated to that
queue record in fact: one is the realtime queue and another is the
tick queue.  These two queues are bound together to work
synchronously.  Hence, when you schedule an event, you have to choose
which queue type is used as described in the section \ref
seq_ev_time.

\subsection seq_ev_tempo Setting queue tempo

The tempo (or the speed) of the scheduling queue is variable.
In the case of <i>tick</i> queue, the tempo is controlled
in the manner of MIDI.  There are two parameters to define the
actual tempo, PPQ (pulse per quarter note) and MIDI tempo.
The former defines the base resolution of the ticks, while
the latter defines the beat tempo in microseconds.
As default, 96 PPQ and 120 BPM are used, respectively.
That is, the tempo is set to 500000 (= 60 * 1000000 / 120).
Note that PPQ cannot be changed while the queue is running.
It must be set before the queue is started.

On the other hand, in the case of <i>realtime</i> queue, the
time resolution is fixed to nanosecononds.  There is, however,
a parameter to change the speed of this queue, called <i>skew</i>.
You can make the queue faster or slower by setting the skew value
bigger or smaller.  In the API, the skew is defined by two values,
the skew base and the skew value.  The actual skew is the fraction
of them, <i>value/base</i>.  As default, the skew base is set to 16bit
(0x10000) and the skew value is the identical, so that the queue is
processed as well as in the real world.

When the tempo of realtime queue is changed, the tempo of
the associated tick queue is changed together, too.
That's the reason why two queues are created always.
This feature can be used to synchronize the event queue with
the external synchronization source like SMPTE.  In such a case,
the realtime queue is skewed to match with the external source,
so that both the realtime timestamp and the MIDI timestamp are
synchronized.

For setting these tempo parameters, use #snd_seq_queue_tempo_t record.
For example, to set the tempo of the queue <code>q</code> to
48 PPQ, 60 BPM,
\code
void set_tempo(snd_seq_t *handle)
{
        snd_seq_queue_tempo_t *tempo;
        snd_seq_queue_tempo_alloca(&tempo);
        snd_seq_queue_tempo_set_tempo(tempo, 1000000); // 60 BPM
        snd_seq_queue_tempo_set_ppq(tempo, 48); // 48 PPQ
        snd_seq_set_queue_tempo(handle, tempo);
}
\endcode

For changing the (running) queue's tempo on the fly, you can either
set the tempo via #snd_seq_queue_tempo() or send a MIDI tempo event
to the system timer port.  For example,
\code
int change_tempo(snd_seq_t *handle, int q, unsigned int tempo)
{
	snd_seq_event_t ev;
	snd_seq_ev_clear(&ev);
	ev.dest.client = SND_SEQ_CLIENT_SYSTEM;
	ev.dest.port = SND_SEQ_PORT_SYSTEM_TIMER;
	ev.source.client = my_client_id;
	ev.source.port = my_port_id;
	ev.queue = SND_SEQ_QUEUE_DIRECT; // no scheduling
	ev.data.queue.queue = q;	// affected queue id
	ev.data.queue.value = tempo;	// new tempo in microsec.
	return snd_seq_event_output(handle, &ev);
}
\endcode
There is a helper function to do this easily,
#snd_seq_change_queue_tempo().
Set NULL to the last argument, if you don't need any
special settings.

In the above example, the tempo is changed immediately after
the buffer is flushed by #snd_seq_drain_output() call.
You can schedule the event in a certain queue so that the tempo
change happes at the scheduled time, too.

\subsection seq_ev_start Starting and stopping a queue

To start, stop, or continue a queue, you need to send a queue-control
event to the system timer port as well.  There are helper functions,
#snd_seq_start_queue(), #snd_seq_stop_queue() and
#snd_seq_continue_queue().
Note that if the last argument of these functions is NULL, the
event is sent (i.e. operated) immediately after the buffer flush.
If you want to schedule the event at the certain time, set up
the event record and provide the pointer of that event record as the
argument.

Only calling these functions doesn't deliver the event to the
sequencer core but only put to the output buffer.  You'll need to
call #snd_seq_drain_output() eventually.


\section seq_subs_more More inside the subscription

\subsection seq_subs_perm Permissions

Each ALSA port can have capability flags.
The most basic capability flags are
#SND_SEQ_PORT_CAP_READ and #SND_SEQ_PORT_CAP_WRITE.
The former means that the port allows to send events to other ports,
whereas the latter capability menas
that the port allows to receive events from other ports.
You may have noticed that meanings of \c READ and \c WRITE
are permissions of the port from the viewpoint of other ports.

For allowing subscription from/to other clients, another capability
flags must be set together with read/write capabilities above.
For allowing read and write subscriptions,
#SND_SEQ_PORT_CAP_SUBS_READ and
#SND_SEQ_PORT_CAP_SUBS_WRITE are used,
respectively.
For example, the port with MIDI input device always has
#SND_SEQ_PORT_CAP_SUBS_READ capability,
and the port with MIDI output device always has
#SND_SEQ_PORT_CAP_SUBS_WRITE capability together with
#SND_SEQ_PORT_CAP_READ and #SND_SEQ_PORT_CAP_WRITE capabilities,
respectively.
Obviously, these flags have no influence
if \c READ or \c WRITE> capability is not set.

Note that these flags are not necessary if the client subscribes itself
to the spcified port.
For example, when a port makes READ subscription
to MIDI input port, this port must have #SND_SEQ_PORT_CAP_WRITE capability,
but no #SND_SEQ_PORT_CAP_SUBS_WRITE capability is required.
Only MIDI input port must have #SND_SEQ_PORT_SUBS_READ capability.

As default, the connection of ports via the third client is always allowed
if proper read and write (subscription) capabilities are set both to the
source and destination ports.
For prohibiting this behavior, set a capability
#SND_SEQ_PORT_CAP_NO_EXPORT to the port.
If this flag is set, subscription must be done by sender or receiver
client itself.
It is useful to avoid unexpected disconnection.
The ports which won't accept subscription should have this capability
for better security.

\subsection seq_subs_handle Subscription handlers

In ALSA library, subscription is done via
#snd_seq_subscribe_port() function.
It takes the argument of #snd_seq_port_subscribe_t record pointer.
Suppose that you have a client which will receive data from
a MIDI input device.  The source and destination addresses
are like the below;
\code
snd_seq_addr_t sender, dest;
sender.client = MIDI_input_client;
sender.port = MIDI_input_port;
dest.client = my_client;
dest.port = my_port;
\endcode
To set these values as the connection call like this.
\code
snd_seq_port_subscribe_t *subs;
snd_seq_port_subscribe_alloca(&subs);
snd_seq_port_subscribe_set_sender(subs, &sender);
snd_seq_port_subscribe_set_dest(subs, &dest);
snd_seq_subscribe_port(handle, subs);
\endcode

When the connection should be exclusively done only between
a certain pair, set <i>exclusive</i> attribute to the subscription
record before calling #snd_seq_port_subscribe.
\code
snd_seq_port_subscribe_set_exclusive(subs, 1);
\endcode
The succeeding subscriptions will be refused.

The timestamp can be updated independently on each connection.
When set up, the timestamp of incoming queue to the destination port
is updated automatically to the time of the specified queue.
\code
snd_seq_port_subscribe_set_time_update(subs, 1);
snd_seq_port_subscribe_set_queue(subs, q);
\endcode
For getting the wallclock time (sec/nsec pair), set <i>real</i> attribute:
\code
snd_seq_port_subscribe_set_time_real(subs, 1);
\endcode
Otherwise, the timestamp is stored in tick unit.
This feature is useful when receiving events from MIDI input device.
The event time is automatically set in the event record.

Note that an outsider client may connect other ports.
In this case, however, the subscription may be refused
if #SND_SEQ_PORT_CAP_NO_EXPORT capability is set in either sender or receiver port.

\section seq_subs_ex Examples of subscription

\subsection seq_subs_ex_capt Capture from keyboard

Assume MIDI input port = 64:0, application port = 128:0, and
queue for timestamp = 1 with real-time stamp.
The application port must have capabilty #SND_SEQ_PORT_CAP_WRITE.
\code
void capture_keyboard(snd_seq_t *seq)
{
        snd_seq_addr_t sender, dest;
        snd_seq_port_subscribe_t *subs;
        sender.client = 64;
        sender.port = 0;
        dest.client = 128;
        dest.port = 0;
        snd_seq_port_subscribe_alloca(&subs);
        snd_seq_port_subscribe_set_sender(subs, &sender);
        snd_seq_port_subscribe_set_dest(subs, &dest);
        snd_seq_port_subscribe_set_queue(subs, 1);
        snd_seq_port_subscribe_set_time_update(subs, 1);
        snd_seq_port_subscribe_set_time_real(subs, 1);
        snd_seq_subscribe_port(seq, subs);
}
\endcode

\subsection seq_subs_ex_out Output to MIDI device

Assume MIDI output port = 65:1 and application port = 128:0.
The application port must have capabilty #SND_SEQ_PORT_CAP_READ.
\code
void subscribe_output(snd_seq_t *seq)
{
        snd_seq_addr_t sender, dest;
        snd_seq_port_subscribe_t *subs;
        sender.client = 128;
        sender.port = 0;
        dest.client = 65;
        dest.port = 1;
        snd_seq_port_subscribe_alloca(&subs);
        snd_seq_port_subscribe_set_sender(subs, &sender);
        snd_seq_port_subscribe_set_dest(subs, &dest);
        snd_seq_subscribe_port(seq, subs);
}
\endcode
This example can be simplified by using #snd_seq_connect_to() function.
\code
void subscribe_output(snd_seq_t *seq)
{
        snd_seq_connect_to(seq, 0, 65, 1);
}
\endcode

\subsection seq_subs_ex_arbit Arbitrary connection

Assume connection from application 128:0 to 129:0,
and that subscription is done by the third application (130:0).
The sender must have capabilities both
#SND_SEQ_PORT_CAP_READ and
#SND_SEQ_PORT_SUBS_READ,
and the receiver
#SND_SEQ_PORT_CAP_WRITE and
#SND_SEQ_PORT_CAP_SUBS_WRITE, respectively.
\code
// ..in the third application (130:0) ..
void coupling(snd_seq_t *seq)
{
        snd_seq_addr_t sender, dest;
        snd_seq_port_subscribe_t *subs;
        sender.client = 128;
        sender.port = 0;
        dest.client = 129;

\section seq_ex_event Event Processing

\subsection seq_ex_address Addressing

Now, two ports are connected by subscription.  Then how to send events?

The subscribed port doesn't have to know the exact sender address.
Instead, there is a special address for subscribers,
#SND_SEQ_ADDRESS_SUBSCRIBERS.
The sender must set this value as the destination client.
Destination port is ignored.

The other values in source and destination addresses are identical with
the normal event record.
If the event is scheduled, proper queue and timestamp values must be set.

There is a convenient function to set the address in an event record.
In order to set destination as subscribers, use
#snd_seq_ev_set_subs().

\subsection Scheduled Delivery

If we send an event at the scheduled time <code>t</code> (tick)
on the queue <code>Q</code>,
the sender must set both schedule queue and time in the
event record.
The program appears like this:
\code
void schedule_event(snd_seq_t *seq)
{
        snd_seq_event_t ev;

        snd_seq_ev_clear(&ev);
        snd_seq_ev_set_source(&ev, my_port);
        snd_seq_ev_set_subs(&ev);
        snd_seq_ev_schedule_tick(&ev, Q, 0, t);
        ... // set event type, data, so on..

        snd_seq_event_output(seq, &ev);
        ...
        snd_seq_drain_output(seq);  // if necessary
}
\endcode
Of course, you can use realtime stamp, too.

\subsection seq_ex_direct Direct Delivery

If the event is sent immediately without enqueued, the sender doesn't take
care of queue and timestamp.
As well as the case above, there is a function to set the direct delivery,
#snd_seq_ev_set_direct().
The program can be more simplified as follows:
\code
void direct_delivery(snd_seq_t *seq)
{
        snd_seq_event_t ev;

        snd_seq_ev_clear(&ev);
        snd_seq_ev_set_source(&ev, port);
        snd_seq_ev_set_subs(&ev);
        snd_seq_ev_set_direct(&ev);
        ... // set event type, data, so on..

        snd_seq_event_output(seq, &ev);
        snd_seq_drain_output(seq);
}
\endcode
You should flush event soon after output event.
Otherwise, the event is enqueued on output queue of ALSA library
(not in the kernel!), and will be never processed until
this queue becomes full.

\subsection seq_ex_filter Filter Application

A typical filter program, which receives an event and sends it immediately
after some modification, will appear as following:
\code
void event_filter(snd_seq_t *seq, snd_seq_event_t *ev)
{
        while (snd_seq_event_input(seq, &ev) >= 0) {
                //.. modify input event ..

                snd_seq_ev_set_source(ev, my_port);
                snd_seq_ev_set_subs(ev);
                snd_seq_ev_set_direct(ev);
                snd_seq_event_output(seq, ev);
                snd_seq_drain_output(seq);
        }
}
\endcode
