Sorry, but the new xmms in unstable doesn't seem to want to work with 
real-time priority (I've reported the bug) and xmms2 doesn't appear to 
support a MIDI file plug-in. On this machine (266 MHz PII with 256 MiB 
RAM with an EMU10K1 soundcard with hardware MIDI synth), I would like a 
player that supports real-time priority and playback of MIDI files.
