If you get the other aspects of the code working so that I can run the
program, I could code this part (using the code for clavier as a
jumping-off point), freeing your mind up for the stuff you're more
concerned about.

Here is another question - as a short-term solution to some of my
problems, is there a way I could use Swami as a mididriver?  As in

clavier -o - | fluidsynth -a coreaudio -m <swami-midi-driver> ... ?

I wasn't able to get midishare to work, though I can tell it is paying
attention to what I do because whenever I run

clavier -o - | fluidsynth -a coreaudio -m midishare <sound font>

I get a message like this

[06/27/03 13:07:10]: MidiShare: cannot open audio timer

in the midishare log (~/MidiShare/midishare.log).  Any midishare folks out
there know what this means and/or how to make midishare work?
