I can't commit to free time right at this point, but I'm interested in
getting MIDI over serial working, and I have the equipment to test it
(Alesis QS-8).  More importantly, I'd be quite interested in making sure
that a proper infrastructure is laid out so that we can abstract away
the hardware implementation (i.e. sound card vs. serial vs. Pro MIDI I/O
card) from the application.
