[Media_api] MAC dynamic ports

[Viceic Predrag]

Hi ,

What I have done for my app, Freecycle, is implement the spooler which reinits 
portmidi every n sec (when in midi config dialog), which allows to obtain the 
same effect without modifiyng the portmidi codebase. However , you should 
check that portmidi cleans well it's state on reinit, in order to avoid the 
memleaks or duplicate midi ports (I had this problem with portmidi's alsa 
connector on linux)

Cheers,
Predrag
