[openbeos-midi] Re: Status update

I hadn't really looked into the 'V2' version of the module much after 
the checkin.
I know that using the same code using my AWE64, it would go into KDL 
right after the 
the open hook was called.  I couldn't really think of a reason that 
would require a 
different method.   I'll take another look at it.

Not sure about the midi parser either.  It looked like it was a 
carryover that doesn't 
have much purpose anyway. 
 If you have any ideas, let me know,
