xmms-timidity plugin

Are any of the RPM packagers interesting in packaging xmms-timidity? What this
plugin does is to give xmms the ability to play midi files. Also, if you add the
- --enable-xmms option to mplayer when configuring it, you can also get mplayer to
play midi files. Several XMMS plugins are already in extras, so this would just
be another nice one to have.

So here is what I did. I added --enable-xmms to my mplayer configure command
line and recompiled mplayer and installed it.

Then since Fedora Core does not have an xmms midi plugin I downloaded and
created rpms of libtimidity and xmms-timidity that I got from here

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=124847

It was quite easy to create the rpms as libtimidity and xmms-timidity include
spec files in the tar so it was just a simple rpmbuild -ta tarfile and I had the
packages. Although you have to install libtimidity and libtimidity-devel prior
to building xmms-timidity.

After I installed the rpms I was then able to play midi files in mplayer
