So if we put track 0 to port 0, track 1 to port 1 etc., we would technically be correct? Midi players would have the option to ignore ports, as long as they do not lump together channel 0 of track 0 and channel 0 of track 1 -- a midi player does see the tracks after all. Technical correctness probably has little merit if no player supports it, but it is worth a try. Setting ports should be quite easy and if major players support this, we're safe.
