it in a nice way that can be adopted easily by the developers. I understand that the ALSA sequencer API is huge and cumbersome, but the minimalist approach of Jack MIDI may be just another mistake in the opposite direction.
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.
