Ok.

Unfortunately all problematic sequencers are mouse
operated.

For cases where the problem first starts only
on song playback start it's less of an issue as
keyboard can be used (only mouse moves generate
huge amount of these irrelevant trace events).

But I'd expect somebody using either Windows or
Mac to debug these issues, as they're the ones
who actually need PortMidi.
