[openbeos-midi] Everybody Ready

All,

I'm anxious to get this thing going, and you probably are too.  The first 
thing I'd like to do is come up with a development plan.  Since the API is 
already layed out for us, there's not much surface level design needed, but 
we can discuss guts a little bit if you like.  We don't need to be perfectly 
clear on this but instead just need to get everyone moving in the same 
direction.

Simply enough, we'll need to just run through and implement each class.  
What I need to know from everyone is:

1) What your interest is (as far as which class).
2) What your bandwidth is.
3) What your hardware configuration is. (important for BMidiPort, and the 
synth)
4) What your experience with MIDI is.
5) How willing you are to stray from (1).

Hopefully, we'll be able to find a good allocation for everyone such that 
this thing can be implemented rapidly and with quality.

The order that I have in mind for the classes is something like this:

1) BMidi
2) BMidiText (so we can see what's going on)
3) BMidiStore (no hardware required here... just files)
4) BMidiPort (need hardware for this)
5) BSynth
6) BMidiSynth
7) BMidiSynthFile
8) BSamples

[A test app probably should be in there somewhere.]

The order above is one that satisfies some of the dependencies among 
classes.  Personally, I believe in stubbing out the entire structure before 
filling in the classes.  I don't know what methodology you are used to, so 
please chip in your feedback there as well.  Please let me know what your 
thoughts are on this.  Please don't hesitate to criticize and/or contribute.

Cheers,
Paul
