\class BMidiLocalConsumer MidiConsumer.h
\brief A consumer endpoint that is created by your own application

If you want to create a consumer that reacts to MIDI events, you should 
subclass BMidiLocalConsumer.

Each local consumer has its own thread that receives and dispatches the MIDI 
events. Whenever MIDI data arrives, the Data() hook passes the MIDI event on to 
a more specific hook function: NoteOn(), NoteOff(), SystemExclusive(), and so 
on. Calls to these hook functions are serialized -- they will never have to be 
re-entrant. They also should not be called from outside the thread that is 
invoking them.

Your subclass can override any of the MIDI event hooks. BMidiLocalConsumer 
doesn't provide default implementations for them, so you don't have to call a 
hook's default implementation if you override it. For complete control, you can 
also override Data().

Most hook functions take a channel argument. Even though MIDI channels are 
really numbered 1 through 16, the hook functions work with channels 0 through 
15. The performance time for the event is specified in microseconds relative to 
the system time base. A performance time that is 0 (or really any time in the 
past) means "play as soon as possible". See the \ref midi2time "introduction" 
for more information about timing and consumers.

The thread driving the consumer's events is a very high priority real time 
thread. Events should be handled as quickly as possible (not counting 
snoozing). If non-time-critical computation is needed it may be wise to queue 
events up for a lower priority thread to handle them external to the main event 
thread.

\fn BMidiLocalConsumer::BMidiLocalConsumer(const char *name = NULL)
\brief Creates a new local consumer endpoint

The new endpoint is not visible to other applications until you Register() it.

You can tell the constructor what the name of the new consumer will be. If you 
pass NULL (or use the default argument), then the consumer's name will be an 
empty string. It won't be NULL, since endpoint names cannot be NULL.

There is no guarantee that the endpoint will be successfully created. For 
example, the Midi Server may not be running. Therefore, you should always call 
IsValid() after creating a new endpoint to make sure that everything went okay. 
If not, Release() the object to reclaim memory and abort gracefully.

\code
MyConsumer* cons = new MyConsumer(...);
if (!cons->IsValid())
{
    cons->Release();
    ...exit gracefully...
}
\endcode

/*!
\fn void BMidiLocalConsumer::SetTimeout(bigtime_t when, void* data)
\brief Requests that the Timeout() hook will be called at some point

This method asks the consumer thread to call the Timeout() hook as soon as 
possible after the timeout expires. For every call to SetTimeout(), the 
Timeout() hook is only called once. Note: the term "timeout" may be a little 
misleading; the hook will <I>always</I> be called, even if events are received 
in the mean time. Apparently, this facility is handy for dealing with early 
events.

Note that the event thread blocks on the consumer's port as long as no events 
arrive. By default no timeout is set, and as a result the thread blocks 
forever. Your call to SetTimeout() doesn't change this. The new timeout value 
will go into effect the next time the thread tries to read from the port, i.e. 
after the first event has been received. If no event ever comes in, the 
Timeout() hook will never be called. This also means that you cannot cancel a 
timeout once you have set it. To repeat, calling SetTimeout() only takes effect 
after at least one new event has been received.

\param when An absolute time that's measured against the system clock.

\param data A pointer to a "cookie" that you can pass along to Timeout(). The 
data is not copied, so you must ensure that the pointer remains valid until 
Timeout() is called. You typically delete the data inside Timeout().

\fn void BMidiLocalConsumer::Data(
	uchar* data, size_t length, bool atomic, bigtime_t time)
\brief Invoked when raw MIDI is received

What the default implementation of Data() does depends on the value of atomic. 
If atomic is true, the data received comprises a single MIDI event; i.e. one 
status byte followed by the appropriate number of data bytes and nothing else. 
In this case, Data() calls the event-specific hook function that corresponds to 
that status byte. This optimization is used by the Midi Kit to allow faster 
dispatch of events generated by the specific Spray functions from 
BMidiLocalProducer.

If atomic is false, Data() ignores the MIDI event. If you want a consumer to 
handle non-atomic events, you have to override Data() and program this 
yourself. In that case, you probably also want to call the default 
implementation to handle the "normal" MIDI events.

Data() is rarely overridden, but you can override it if you want to. If you do, 
remember that the data buffer is owned by the Midi Kit. Do not attempt to 
modify or free it, lest you wish to be laughed at by other developers.

\param data the MIDI event data
\param length byte size of the data buffer
\param atomic whether the data buffer contains a single complete MIDI event
\param time the requested performance time of the event
