   Rosegarden supports transport Control Change messages.  Set your 
footswitch to send CC 118 for record.  A value of 127 is a press.  I 
think this is the ProTools standard so your footswitch might work right 
out of the box.

   You'll need to turn on transport CCs in the preferences: Edit > 
Preferences > MIDI > Accept Transport CCs.

   Then you will need to connect your footswitch to rg's external 
controller port in ALSA.  You might also be able to Y it in through the 
input port as well.  Looks like the code supports either.

   Code is in AlsaDriver::handleTransportCCs().
