Also, to take an example from sooperlooper, its multicontrol port
would be a MOMENTARY and ENUMERATED port. An ideal UI in its case would
likely be a bunch of buttons, one for each enumeration.... but
a generic host might make it a combobox and single button.
I believe Taybin's concern is what would a generic host be
expected to do? A very good question, but whichever host comes
up with the best answer wins :)

How should a host deal with a port that is
MOMENTARY, but not
TOGGLED? What would the UI be?
a pushbutton emitting the default value for the port is a possibility.
another is a pushbutton and a slider/knob for setting the value to be
transmitted when pushed. yet another is a sensitive peak meter-like
object transmitting the amplitude at which the user clicked the
object.
