An API becomes 'official' ... when its uses but most of the
developers. Remember the old days of OS9 when the 'official' MIDI API
was Opcode OMS.... when MidiShare was already in the field. The
official is not always the 'best' one, but the one pushed by powerful
people... and/or at the right time.

what makes an API 'official' under Linux,
anyway? in my opinion, the
old maxim, "use what works" applies .. and ALSA has proven to be a
very difficult and annoying thing to get set up and working (witness
jwz' recent terror) .. while MidiShare has (for the most part) been
smooth and dreamy.
