I just tested the CVS version with Rosegarden CVS, and Rosegarden is
seeing iiwusynth, at least on my system. However, no notes are playing,
but that is a different issue.
Rosegarden uses alsa_seq, so if you start iiwusynth with "-m alsa_seq"
(not "-m alsa") you should see it when you cat /proc/asound/seq/clients,
probably as Client 128.
If you are using the CVS version of Rosegarden, you will have to go into
"Studio->manage midi devices" and set up your banks before you will see
anything in the inst. drop-down... There's a lot of development going on
over there around this area.
