Tim, i wonder, given you might need to rummage around in the code a
bit, if this the time to consider implementing jackmidi in trunk, and
do this once, instead of twice.
I'm no coder, but maybe there's an opportunity in this to take another
big step forward, and not have to go through the same process twice,
given the work already done in the separate branch to provide a
jackmidi framework.

imho.

Alex.
