Description David Björklund 2004-11-28 10:43:57 UTC 
It would be really great and cool if you could play .midi files with Gsteamer.
Right now it's not very easy to play midi-files in gnome desktop.
Comment 1 Stephane Loeuillet 2004-12-15 10:58:07 UTC 
current plans concerning MIDI are dealt with there :

Comment 2 Andy Wingo 2006-01-12 11:32:36 UTC 
updating version..
Comment 3 John Richard Moser 2006-01-12 21:30:13 UTC 
A midi plug-in that could handle timidity patch sets and Creative SoundFonts would be cool.  The distros would have to package EAWPatches or ShomPatches (ShomPats sound great btw).  Linking this to a type of sample library interface may also be interesting for gstreamer-based music creation programs ("trackers").
Comment 4 Bastien Nocera 2006-08-05 23:17:20 UTC 
I believe the original request was for simple MIDI playback, not full tracker-style support of MIDI (and if that's not the case, then I should file another bug).

This library (though unmaintained):
http://libtimidity.sourceforge.net/
looks like it supports all the basic playback functionality needed with an xmms plugin, and a xine-lib one (at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.xine.devel/15587/)

This would allow for simple playback, and metadata reading for Midi files in Totem and Rhythmbox.
Comment 5 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2007-03-19 13:48:01 UTC 
This seems to be worked on in bug #403992 and a timidity/wildmidi based playback plugin is already in gst-plugins-bad. I'll thus close this one as a duplicate of bug #403992
