Timidity is provided as the default, small basic MIDI player. It's good
enough to preview and play mid files and we provide just a very basic
set of sounds. Maybe we could add more collections on the DVD/USB.
I do not use fluidsynth, but I think it's basically the same but with
more control over the sound samples and better integration with other
music apps?
(I thought it was already in Puredyne)
