Based on Andrea's post I have evaluated the midi2input code. Which is 
capable of creating keyboard input, and is able to have application 
profiles. Hence the input may be different per active X11-application. As 
long as the application supports keyboard input, it works. I have tested 
the generic output, and that just works. I don't know all keyboard mappings 
for Cinelerra, but lets say I am going to make a mapping.

With regards to applying the midi patch, I have not tried that. But would 
be interesting to do so. From what I saw the midi work is very device 
specific, thus requires mapping. I like how old games worked and an 
operation could just be assigned using the 'next' event on the bus. But 
this is far beyond the work we should invest now.
