Um, that's not really a matter of adhering to the specs, but you could
do it in a clumsy way. If you put *all* messages into a FIFO, as you
should for notes etc., then rapid fire will clog the buffer, before you
get to ignore the messages correctly. Have to admit, my very first DIY
MIDI implementation did exactly that.

Of course it's better to process/ignore Real Time messages as close to
the hardware as possible aka very early, and that includes MIDI Clock
(which BTW makes the OB8 factory MIDI choke).
