It's severely lacking in documentation, but this fact is documented. :-)
Check the midi(4) man page.  It also says that the API is compatible
with the OSS (Linux) API.  Or at least it was when I wrote it.
So any documentation you find for Linux should be largely applicable
here.  And if you feel like writing some documentation it would be great. :)

This sounds like a bug.  But doesn't midiplay work properly?
