[vorbis-dev] Ogg MIDI proposal

We need to expand them so that seeking can possibly work and for
streaming.  If you don't have the previous status, it can't run, and an
easy solution is just to not have running status.  Note that you can
_easily_ do running status on the fly when you send out the data if
that's an issue.

If so, then why not also do the expansion? If the synth's do it, it's
not liable to break anything.
