It seems like every single linux midi app has

It seems like every single Windows audio app has to support like 6
different audio backends plus Rewire/Rewire2. What's up with that, is
there no single standard for interapplication audio routing like JACK?

Lee, you are being exceptionally helpful today...
Reminds me of a saying of a friend of mine: "Why be helpful if I am not?"
Reusability of code is a quite valid point, and I thought the OP's
question was quite interesting.
We shouldn't define ourselves in terms of what windows does. Frankly, I don't
care anymore, its now 8 years since I switched to Linux completely.
libmidifile would be cute, is any of the existing codebases flexible
enough so that it could be massaged into a nice lib?
