That may be. But multiplexing can be done using a seperate mixer
application that can be accessed by the sequencer/patch editor as
normal outputs. I don't want the API to compete with the ALSA
sequencer, but to be a more flexible and slightly higher level RawMidi
kind of interface that only supports very basic time ordered scheduling.
