Sounds to me like portmidi is not very good. Can we use code from the STK instead?

Subject: [Cs-dev] PortMIDI cleanup

I spotted something that might perhaps be
wrong on pmidi.c. It is actually to do with
porttime; porttime is started with Pt_Start(),
but never stopped with Pt_Stop(). Adding a call
to it to the module destructor allows the portmidi module
to re-start without an error in porttime. I can't
test this, because I don't have a working MIDI, but
I can see that the initialisation seems to be
happening.

Can anyone (Istvan?) add it to the CVS sources, so
that David can test it again? I also have no CVS
access at the moment.

The Portmidi code seems to have global statics everywhere,
no wonder it cannot run in more than one instance.

Perhaps a request to make it re-entrant could be passed
to its developers.

Victor
