its debatable whether the Windows/MacOS-world solution (the host
provides the MIDI info) is better than the easier-to-accomplish one
(the plugin connects to the various MIDI data sources, and gets the
MIDI data itself). if the MIDI data source is the ALSA sequencer, this
can work well, for example, since the sequencer can multiplex data.
