FWIW...  You could take your own advice, and devide your application
in two: one process manages the GUI, and the second is a back-end
process that plays the MIDI.  Your GUI can even launch the back end,
which will inherit the priority of the GUI, after which the GUI can
reduce its own priority (the priority of the back end will not be
affected by the change)...
