To be clear, I didn't switch away because of any bugs with portmidi, but because my desired interface was awkward to get with the portmidi API, and I noticed that both CoreMIDI and looks like alsa provide APIs which are closer to what I want. It seemed silly for portmidi to go to all this work to change a callback api into a polling one and then for me to go change it back to a callback one again. Oh, and I wanted to merge streams which portmidi can't do at all. If I need to support win32 and the api looks really evil, I may wind up switching back, provided I can work around the stream merging thing. _______________________________________________ media_api mailing list media_api@create.ucsb.edu http://lists.create.ucsb.edu/mailman/listinfo/media_api
