That means as long as a each access of the message queue transfers a complete midi message (3 bytes for note on/off or N bytes for sysex) then the message queue keeps each complete midi message together. Then all that is required is a library which wraps the acesses to the message queue enforcing the rule of "one complete midi message per queue access".
