+lsmi (map keyboard/mouse/joystick input to ALSA MIDI sequencer events)
+
+These simple user-space drivers support using certain homemade,
+repurposed, or commercial devices as MIDI controllers on Linux, even
+though the devices themselves are not capable of generating MIDI messages;
+this does not include things like MIDI-over-serial or PIC based projects,
+which are true MIDI devices.
+
+Reasons for using this software include: achieving MIDI entry on machines
+without MIDI ports, reusing old hardware, pure frugality, and fun.
+
+This package uses POSIX filesystem capabilities to execute with
+elevated privileges (required for realtime audio processing). This
+may be considered a security/stability risk. Please read
+http://www.slackbuilds.org/caps/ for more information. To disable
+capabilities, pass SETCAP=no to the script.
