No it hasn't been integrated yet. All midi handling is currently being
done through Gervill, a software synthesizer. This has as advantage (or
disadvantage, depending on your view), that no direct integration with
the native platform soft synths needs to be done.

I have CCed Anthony Green, who originally wrote the DSSI backend for GNU
Classpath, to see if he might be interested in porting it to IcedTea.
Hi Anthony! :)

Cheers,
