this all looks good, but i still don't understand how this differs
from the ALSA sequencer (except that the sequencer does everything
you've listed, and more besides; it handles merging, for example).
btw: i don't understand your use of the term "low level" here. my
sense of a "low level MIDI API" is one that deals only in terms of raw
bytes to be delivered directly to a MIDI device. as soon as you start
dealing with structured MIDI data, scheduling etc., it seems to me as
if its not low level anymore. what would a "high level MIDI API" be
for you?
