Blocked in MIDIClientCreate

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with a MIDI app running on Mac OS X (10.4.2) when this app is killed ("terminated" within the debugger). This app communicates with a 2.0 USB Audio/MIDI device (under development as is the MIDI app).

When the application is killed and relaunched, It stays blocked in the call to MIDIClientCreate. The stack displayed in the debugger window shows that it is waiting for a reply in the call to FindOrLaunchServer. I can see using "top" that the MIDIServer is running at that time. The only way I've found to revert to a working situation is to unplug and replug the device.

I suspected first that the problem was a consequence of MIDIClientDispose not being called when the app is killed but I think that CoreMidi does clean up the client "connection" resources when it "unexpectedly" exits. Am I right assuming this?

I did some tests using 2 MIDI devices available in the market. The 1st one uses a vendor driver, the 2nd one relies on the generic USB MIDI driver. I couldn't reproduce the blocking behavior with these devices. So I'd tend to think that there's something wrong with my device but I've no idea where to look at :(

What's happening when a MIDI client is killed with regard to the actual device (e.g. any USB requests sent to it)?
What's happening when MIDIClientCreate is called with regard to the actual device (e.g. any USB requests sent to it)?
What could cause the call to FindOrLaunchServer to be blocking?
Any idea?


Thanks

Philippe
