Bug#432055: O: xmms-midi -- MIDI plugin for XMMS



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the xmms-midi package.

The package description is:
 This plugin enables XMMS to play MIDI files through Timidity.

I no longer use XMMS. The plugin is useful and no other MIDI solution
for XMMS seems to exist. Unfortunately the plugin has some issues and
there is no upstream available to work on it. The main issue is that it
duplicates code from timidity instead of interfacing with timidity. It
might be better to rewrite this plugin with libfluidsynth or just get it
to run the timidity binary. Anyone who wants to adopt the plugin should
be also willing to take over upstream development:
