For midi: wouldn't it be possible to allocate block of the upper bound-size.
I mean midi is constrained by the transfer-rate. Commands can be placed into
the buffer at the point in time when they should occure. Ofcourse they need to check
if the time-slot is still free and should use the next free one.

that doesn't solve the generic malloc problem (strings of arbitrary
size) but it does look attractive for the common case of fixed-size
events.
yes, and it would be less than a few hours to get it working.
the problem is that many of the interesting data types are variable
sized. MIDI is the most obvious.
