> Music doesn't play for me under Wine or Windows

On w95, I remember the need to go to some preferences menu to enable or toggle
the sound synthesizer selection. On a default XP install, MIDI played OOTB.
With Wine, if your soundcard does not support MIDI natively, you need a
software synthesizer like Timidity or fluidsynth (I can't remember if I ever
got fluidsynth to work with Wine) *and* soundfonts (e.g. freepats).

Sampling MIDI apps, I've come up with the following informal classification
about MIDI trouble:
a) app works perfectly with MIDI;
b) MIDI works, but stutters heavily;
c) app hangs, my patch helps, so it becomes a) or b);
d) app uses MCI but is not helped;
e) app does not use MCI, but winmm's midiOut functions directly. So it's not
only MCI at fault.
