Touch�.  I never said it wasn't worth doing either, mind you.  It's actually 
pretty cool.  I just look at things and try to figure out how I can show 
people how to do something with them.  It's how I think.  That's why I'm a 
world-famous author nobody has ever heard of.  :)  (The book physically goes 
to press in two weeks if I didn't mention that already.)

Yeah, I was thinking similarly.  Easier to do it after the fact, but probably 
better to build the necessary input infrastructure so it behaves the same as 
audio.

We could take a two tiered approach.  Do it the easy way first, and see if 
anyone bitches that it doesn't behave like audio.  Then think about putting a 
multiple-input system in place for MIDI if there's strong desire to see MIDI 
and audio behave more similarly.  Either way, the after-the-fact 
split-by-source bit could be useful, so it's worth implementing regardless, 
and nothing is wasted.  Plus it's easier, because everything is already there 
except the bit to actually split by source.  Easy is good.
