Software Midi Kernel Module

A GPL'd software midi kernel module is currently under development and is based on another small project on the net (not timidity). Initial tests have been successful with playmidi and rosegarden.

What I am after is advice and feedback on how things should be done within a kernel module, also people who have delt with midi hardware drivers within the kernel and know what the driver is recieving.

Also I am looking for someone who knows how alsa works, as I have only had oss experience and currently the project the driver is based on only deals with oss.

I also need to know, if possable, how to get a module to set the major number on a /dev, or how I can override existing drivers using the same major number but only on the midi devices.

Anyone interested in getting involved are welcome to email me.
