Neither PortMidi nor RtMidi support any of the event based I/O APIs on any of the platforms or a blocking poll call. This might actually be a portability problem.

As quoted from the PortMidi Doxygen docs at http://portmedia.sourceforge.net/portmidi/doxygen/group__grp__io.html#ge88e6c682ee3550defdd0c74bcbdd508:

  "with a lock-free fifo, which is pretty much what we're stuck with to enable portability to the Mac, it's tricky for the producer and consumer to synchronously reset the buffer and resume normal operation."
