blog: add (unfinished) series on OMS
I'll update this as I do more research into the inner workings of
OMS. It's much more interesting (and more convoluted) than ASIO
is unfortunately, but it means the blog posts will probably be
more interesting

| 8 The primary method of organizing (and interacting with) MIDI devices | |
| 9 on Mac OS 9 is through the Open Music System, developed by Opcode. | |

| 11 standards for music software. Steinberg's ASIO and VST | |
| 12 are prime examples of this phenomena. | |

| 16 In this series of blog posts I will be digging into how applications | |
| 17 interact with the OMS system extension, in an effort to allow other | |
| 18 programs to (legally) interact with OMS without using the proprietary | |
| 19 OMS SDK. | |
