Description Chris Wilson 2012-08-31 22:38:36 UTC 
The .timestamp in MIDIMessage should be explicitly allowed to be set to zero for the purposes of sendMIDIMessage, with the semantic of "send this as soon as possible".
Comment 1 Florian Bomers 2012-09-05 19:11:17 UTC 
I like that. You can generalize this to: if the .timestamp is less or equal to the current time, the message is sent asap.

and "hello" from me :)
Comment 2 Jussi Kalliokoski 2012-09-06 05:45:07 UTC 
Yes, I think I'll try to get a wording that accepts undefined and null as ASAP values as well.
Comment 3 Chris Wilson 2012-10-17 23:44:55 UTC 
Resolved with checkin:
