	I'm the guy working on Midi and I just got back to it.  My
available time fluctuates, and I've been busy, sick, etc, etc.
Anyway, previosuly, the MIDI that was removed did not with any cards
(that I know of) other than CSA.  So I don't think there is any point
in being frustrated with its removal.  Also, I've posted a few times
to the list a replacement that you can test if you have either a
soundblaster live or a es137x.  Present problems including broken
sound recording and no-AMD64.

	I plan to have a cross-compilable version available this
weekend.
