that's correct, ``note on'' with zero velocity is an alias for
``note off''. This should be problem for no MIDI device. Let me know
if so.

This is the same as above, but on channel 9 rather that channel 1.

Oh, I just play it on my keyboard :), but if i don't have a keyboard
around, i put them as you do. I often prefer giving names to output
channels:

[0000:00]> onew drums {0 9}
[0000:00]> tnew traka
[0000:00]> taddev 0 0 0 {non drums 49 120}
statelist_done: non {0 9} 31 78: unterminated frame
[0000:00]> taddev 0 0 1 {noff drums 49 64}
