[midiin] only shows data when calling PdBase:sendMidiByte #48

On other platforms (native PureData on OSX, libpd on iOS), all incoming midi data (noteon/off, ctrl, etc) into the patch is reflected out the [midiin] object. On Android, however, the object does not output any data.

I could partly reproduce this as well. midiin does receive data, but only when I use the java call PdBase:sendMidiByte. When I use PdBase:sendNoteOn then notein gets the data. So while the data does get through to the patch, this is inconsistent with the other PD ports, as you mention, in which midiin functions as an "omni-in". I don't know the reason for this difference in behavior on the Android port. Pinging @nettoyeurny here .. 😉
If this for some reason can't be changed, we should at least mention this in the documentation.

@monkeyswarm I realize now that this is rather an issue of missing documentation than a bug in the library. See the following discussion: https://github.com/libpd/libpd/issues/133

Added the missing documentation to the libpd wiki.
