No, it's a library for processing MIDI which offers some very nice and 
unique features, such as a kind of (cross-application) virtual loopbacks 
built into the design of the library. It is true that it is not as 
straightforward to build and install (at least on Linux) since its 
internals are implemented as a kernel module. But it has very accurate 
timing and provides a well thought-out abstraction layer. It's been 
ported to a lot of platforms. It's also very mature and well-documented. 
It's definitely worth taking a look at.
