  Description     : MIDI to WAVE converter library

libTiMidity is based on the TiMidity decoder from SDL_sound library. 
Compared to SDL_sound libTiMidity provides more suitable API to work 
with MIDI songs, it enables to specify full path to the timidity 
configuration file, and have functions to retrieve meta data from MIDI songs

The main reason to package libtimidity is to enable the midi support in 
GStreamer (see bug 346455). I have made a preliminary package available at
http://www.whiz.se/temp/libtimidity/ but I don't feel comfortable packaging 
a library, so I will not maintain it.
