[PD-dev] Midi overflow, when receiving Song Position Pointer (os x)

[Jan Baumgart]

Seems like [midirealtimein] is working under os x (although there's an 
obsolete error "message midirealtimein: works under MSW only").

But when receiving a realtime messages (248, 250 or 252) [midiin] and 
[notein] output 0.
Maybe this is related to the fifo overflow.

Correction: the status byte for the song position pointer is 242 (dec - 
not hex)
