The MIDI file causing the problem

When trying to play a Midi file, a popup dialog box appears with the
following message:

Playback Error
Problem occurred without error being set. This is a bug in Rhythmbox or
GStreamer.

This occurred when playing a Midi file with RIFF information. Attached
is the Midi file which was taken from
http://www.classicalmusicmidipage.com/music/?composer=1

The Midi file works without a problem when played with timidity.

Yes, Midi files inside a RIFF container are not supported yet. I'll take a look at this later...

    typefindfunctions: Add typefinder for Midi inside RIFF
    
    This is a standard Midi file format that should be supported by
    all Midi decoders and also has the mimetype audio/mid according to
    the Midi specification homepage.
    
    Fixes bug #594094.
