[openbeos-midi] Re: MIDI parser source (bytestream->MIDI messages)

Why not write a midi2 kit client for this. I once write one for the
AMT8/Unitor8 (or any other (multiport) serial interface). One
could write a kernel module for it I suppose, but I don't think
a seperate process should hurt performance that bad for it to
be an issue. And for multiport (using 0xf5) you will have to parse
and I don't think that should be in the kernel when it is not
necessary. I will try to find the code for the application and if I do
you can have the copyright as I'll most likely be ashamed of it :)

I don't think this should be in midi_server, but in a driver (from
/dev/midi). The driver would then read the bytes from the serial port, and
the midi_server would turn these bytes into MIDI messages, just like it does
for any other driver. There is no reason to make a special case for the
serial port, as far as I can see.
