I don't think so. Do you want this? I can build a special kernel for you to
use with this.

Basically you need to apply a patch which adds this functionality, then
rebuild the kernel. Can you do this or should I?

Is this a composing tool for MIDI files (something which lets you make music)?
There was some discussion about this on the list a while ago. I will go find
