[Media_api] handling truncated sysex

[rdxesy]

greetings,

i am thinking the following but i am not sure if this is
a) actually the correct way to detect truncated sysex and if so
b) is always correct:

read event;
for (each byte in the event)
{
...
if (byte == MIDI_SYSEX)
{
        receiving_sysex = true;
        position = 0;
...
}
if (receiving_sysex)
{
        // ignore truncated sysex
        if (position > 0 && byte >= 0xF0 && byte != 0xF7)
        {
                receiving_sysex = false;
                break;  // assume other bytes to be garbage (correct?)
        }
        ...
        ++position;
        ...
}
...
}

thanks a lot
Jan
