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.
