Mathew,
I've added support for your year-old midi2 code (dated June, 14th) to emu10kx driver. It builds well under -CURRENT (with addition of d_version to device structures). It would be nice, if you can provide snapshot of your current work to let people test it before commiting.
Now, for day and a half (this weekend), at least three people downloaded your midi2 code that I have on my website.
Emu10kx can be compiled without MIDI at all (and they do not need to download midi2 to build driver without MIDI or with NEWMIDI), and I think these people do need MIDI under FreeBSD-CURRENT.
I also can say, that old NEWMIDI was not dead (MIDI I/O was working for me) when it was removed from -CURRENT.
