Lets please not use byte streams to communicate with plugins. The whole
point of have a header with struct definitions is to avoid endless,
complicated, byte parsing. Since we can assume that the host and plugin
have access to the same header and can agree on the physicial
description of the struct, lets use it.

I think this idea is OK, although MIDI has many limitations, such as the inability to read a controller's value (set only, not get.)
I don't think the point was MIDI, but rather using byte streams. What goes on between Xlib and the X server on Un*x systems would be another example of such a protocol.
