	Title		: RTP Payload Format for MIDI

This memo describes an RTP payload format for the MIDI command
language.  The format encodes all commands that may legally appear
on a MIDI 1.0 DIN cable.  The format is suitable for interactive
applications (such as the remote operation of musical instruments)
and content-delivery applications (such as file streaming).  The
format may be used over unicast and multicast UDP as well as TCP,
and defines tools for graceful recovery from packet loss.  Stream
behavior, including the MIDI rendering method, may be customized
during session setup.  The format also serves as a mode for the
mpeg4-generic format, to support the MPEG 4 Audio Object Types for
General MIDI, Downloadable Sounds Level 2, and Structured Audio.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
