Hi Tim. The device connect method doesn't include channel information; it's 
just a device, which can transmit on any channel, 0-15.

On Mac, there can be any number of ports, and multiple devices can send to the 
same port. This makes everything easy, the way it should be. 

it looks like on Windows, a device is considered a port, since only one device 
can send to a port, and only one input port is allowed to be open.

Does anyone have more info on this? MSDN doesn't help, and the web seems to be 
glutted with very old info on Windows MIDI, like circa '98.

Thanks!
Aaron
