Since I do not use MIDI, I cannot justify the time to spend on this. If there is not someone who has the interest in working on this, a simple note should suffice letting Mac users know that portmidi is not available in 2.5.0 when it is finally released.

Especially Falcon has some pretty nice non-MIDI music programs, so I can 
understand not being interested in MIDI music SW, although ST has a lot 
of interesting MIDI programs.

(E.g. MidiSquare is an interesting one even for non-musician, as one can 
get somewhat interesting music just by moving mouse around a grid.)

There are also quite a few games that work faster and with better sound 
when music goes to MIDI though (Bad Mood, ScummVM and graphical native 
ST adventure games...), and even few demos.
