MidiIn Should Always be Creatable -- even if no hardware is available #13

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Problem:
The MidiIn and MidiOut objects can only be created by the user if the 
associated Midi hardware exists on the users computer. Not all computers have 
Midi ports. With the addition of Midi Streams in ABox 2.31, using Midi objects 
does not necessarily require associated hardware. Some features of the new 
streams are desirable -- such as polyphonic trackers and simplified command 
streams.

Recommend:
In the ABox source code, the MidiHardware base class is asked if it can create 
a Midi object. Currently, it looks at a CAN_CREATE flag defined in the base 
class definition and answers 'no' if associated hardware is not found. Said 
flag should be changed, and the source code perused in order to verify that 
object will never try to create hardware that doesn't exist.
