   // there's no timestamping info.

+  //

+  // Eventually, we will want to create real timestamps based on a real orca

+  // clock, instead of ad-hoc at the last moment like this. When we do that,

+  // we'll need to thread the timestamping/timing info through the function

+  // calls, instead of creating it at the last moment here. (This timestamp is

+  // actually 'useless', because it doesn't convey any additional information.

+  // But if we don't provide it, at least to PortMidi, some people's MIDI

+  // setups may malfunction and have terrible timing problems.)
