well, what i was thinking was something more like this:
struct jack_midi_buffer_t {
unsigned int event_cnt;
WhateverTheALSASequencerEventTypeIsCalled events[0];
};
a JACK client that handles MIDI as well would do something like this
in its process() callback:
jack_midi_buffer_t* buf = (jack_midi_buffer_t*)
jack_port_get_buffer (midi_in_port, nframes);
for (n = 0; n < buf->event_cnt; ++n) {
process_midi_event (buf->events[n]);
}
a real client would probably look at the timestamps in the events too.
