[linux-audio-dev] MWPP I-D -0.5.txt released

[John Lazzaro]

Hi everyone,

	Just released the latest revision of the IETF Internet-Draft
to standardize the RTP packetization for MIDI. The document reflects
the comments submitted on the last document revision by several
LAD-folks (see the document change log for details ...).

	While this draft isn't the "Last Call" document, we're
probably only a few revisions away from Last Call, so if anyone has
been holding off on the reviewing the memo and sending comments, now
is a good time to do so ... below is the abstract and document
download info:

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.  This draft is a work item of the Audio/Video Transport
Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: The MIDI Wire Protocol Packetization (MWPP)
	Author(s)	: J. Lazzaro, J. Wawrzynek
	Filename	: draft-ietf-avt-mwpp-midi-rtp-05.txt
	Pages		: 94
	Date		: 2002-9-23
	
The MIDI Wire Protocol Packetization (MWPP) is a general-purpose
RTP packetization for the MIDI command language. MWPP is suitable
for use in both interactive applications (such as the remote
operation of musical instruments) and content-delivery applications
(such as MIDI file streaming). MWPP is suitable for use over
unicast and multicast UDP, and defines tools that support the
graceful recovery from packet loss. MWPP may also be used over
reliable transport such as TCP. The SDP parameters defined for MWPP
support the customization of stream behavior (including the MIDI
rendering method) during session setup. MWPP is compatible with the
MPEG-4 generic RTP payload format, to support the MPEG 4 Audio
object types for General MIDI, DLS2, and Structured Audio.
