How to send output and have the timestamps be honored?

Hi.

Thank you for writing this. I am playing around and have a question. I can send output using WriteShort, and then sleep until sending the next event.

But, what I really have is a []portmidi.Event, which already include timestamp information. It seems like I should be able to just call:

out, err := portmidi.NewOutputStream(output, 1024, 0)
out.Write(events) # events is []portmidi.Event recorded just before this call.

and have it play. But the timing isn't respected, so everything goes very quickly.

I tried setting the latency in the NewOutputStream call to various values (based on the C code, that's the only time that timestamps are actually used), but that doesn't seem to work. (I thought that setting it to portmidi.Time() would offset it correctly from the reads I did just before...)

Do you know how I can pass in a list of Events and just have them played with the timing information honored? It seems silly that I would have to do that in my code :)

Thank you
Dan
