 *
 * The alsamidisrc element is an element that fetches ALSA MIDI sequencer
 * events and makes them available to elements understanding
 * audio/x-midi-events in their sink pads.
 *
 * It can be used to generate notes from a MIDI input device.
 *
 * <refsect2>
 * <title>Example launch line</title>
 * |[
 * gst-launch -v alsamidisrc ports=129:0 ! fluiddec ! audioconvert ! autoaudiosink
 * ]| This pipeline will listen for events from the sequencer device at port 129:0,
 * and generate notes using the fluiddec element.

 * The MIDI specification declares some status bytes undefined:
 *
 *  - 0xF4 System common - Undefined (Reserved)
 *  - 0xF5 System common - Undefined (Reserved)
 *  - 0xF9 System real-time - Undefined (Reserved)
 *  - 0xFD System real-time - Undefined (Reserved)
 *
 * See: http://www.midi.org/techspecs/midimessages.php#2
 *
 * Some other documents define status 0xf9 as a tick message with a period of
 * 10ms:
 *
 *  - http://www.blitter.com/~russtopia/MIDI/~jglatt/tech/midispec/tick.htm
 *  - http://www.sequencer.de/synth/index.php/MIDI_Format#0xf9_-_MIDI_Tick
 *
 * Even if non-standard it looks like this convention is quite widespread.
 *
 * For instance Fluidsynth uses 0xF9 as a "midi tick" message:
 * http://sourceforge.net/p/fluidsynth/code-git/ci/master/tree/fluidsynth/src/midi/fluid_midi.h#l62
 *
 * And then so does the midiparse element in order to be compatible with
 * Fluidsynth and the fluiddec element.
 *
 * Do the same to behave like midiparse.
