Instead of and-ing the first byte to extract the event type, it is simpler and easier to understand to bitwise-shift it, so that we don't get the result as a multiple of 2^4, but as values corresponding to the MIDI specification. Currently, a guard is put against events with completely empty data, though maybe ardour discards those earlier on since that would not be valid MIDI.
