Hehe, ignorace about GStreamer architecture is gonna bite you real soon -
or directly in my next answer. ;)

Currently the only way to pass around data in GStreamer is in memory
regions (called buffers). There is no way to pass custom structs. So you
will need to pass the raw midi stream.

We're loosely mimicking normal mimetypes here. So you should probably use
something like audio/x-midi-raw or application/x-midi-raw (is midi audio
or general?) for a raw midi stream.


Good luck with starting to hack on GStreamer. Be sure to be in our IRC
channel, that helps for quickly answering simple questions.
