Yes, probably and I think it would be a great addition to GStreamer.
However one issue I do see is that if I understand this technology
correctly you would want Midi support in GStreamer, something which is
currently missing. We have had some people say they would look into it,
but none of those have yet submitted any actual code. I hope this will
not be a big issue.

As far as I know no-one else is currently working on something like
this.

Absolutly, we would love to have this addition to GStreamer. Hope the
current (hopefully not long-lived) lack of midi support is a big problem
for you.
