Closing itself can be problematic (see post below) I believe due to the callback that happens from the MIDI driver back to the port instance once closure has finshed so post the Close method. The static use of the ports seems to keep them alive for at least long enough for the callback (untested so far). I have previously attempted a static delegate with no improvement. Also, there is no gurantee when the Port's finalizer will be called so the auto close may not happen when it needs to.

(All this is just a safety net against stupidity to cope with the possible case that a consumer doesn't explicitly call Close on any open ports or Manager.CloseAll.)

I don't believe, using managed code at least, that there is anything I can do to deal with that situation so I have no choice but to live with it.

That was a great link by the way - thanks! Bookmarked for rereading several times until it all sinks in and for future reference.
