When writing MIDI apps, I want to deal with a normalized,
time-stamped MIDI byte stream (like what JACK MIDI) gives.
I really dig the JACK MIDI API because it gets out of my way
and lets me do my job.

I never liked the ALSA MIDI API because it was trying to do
too much crap /for/ me. I have to spend a bunch of time
grepping through source code (because the docs suck) trying
to undermine the ways its trying to help me.
