/*
* Purpose: A minimalistic MIDI output programming sample.
* Copyright (C) 4Front Technologies, 2002-2004. Released under GPLv2/CDDL.
*
* Description:
* This program does nothing but plays a note on MIDI channel 1
* after sending a program change message.
*
* This program demonstrates how simple it's to write programs that play
* MIDI. All you need to do is assembling the MIDI message and writing
* it to the device. The MIDI format is defined in "MIDI 1.0 Detailed
* Specification" which is available from MIDI Manufacturs Association (MMA)
* (see {!hlink http://www.midi.org}).
*
* This program does timing by calling the sleep(3) system call. In some
* systems like Linux there may be better sleep routines like usleep(3)
* that provide better timing resolution.
*
* However application based timing may not be as precise as required in
* musical applications. For this reason the MIDI interface of OSS will
* provide a driver based timing approach in the near future.
*
* Please look at the "{!link MIDI}" section of the OSS Developer's
* manual for more info about MIDI programming.
