There probably are use-cases where it makes sense to provide MIDI-related
APIs that don't involve MediaStreams --- the ability to simply play a MIDI
resource file using an <audio> element, for example.

However, MediaStreams aren't a use-case, just an API. A use-case that
doesn't initially appear to require MediaStreams might still be elegantly
solved with them.
