Hi,

Sofar no-one in alsa-utils responded to the patch below.
But maybe it is interesting for inclusion in at least the Debian
package?

Hi,

Please consider including the following patch. This patch adds a '-T'
flag which prepends MIDI messages outputted by '--dump' with a
timestamp.
E.g.:

1625245188.993861810) C964
1625245188.994318675) F8
1625245188.995468101) 99647F
1625245189.494490183) F8
1625245189.495448424) 99647F
1625245189.995470260) F8
1625245189.996461381) 99647F
1625245190.494519924) F8
