Just for the record, just never ever deal with midi data in decimal. It
will just confused you. If you use hex, everything will be simple and
obvious because the commands are broken across the nybbles.

And yes, you might want to look at my MIDI sending API at

http://www.rattus.net/~packrat/audio/ChucK/

That will give you a better idea of whether the crash is due to bad data
values. I can only assume that the midi interface library under linux is
partially interpreting your data values and complaining about invalid
ones. I'm afraid I only use a mac for ChucK these days.
