Currently, `midiplay' output is horrible on my machines ... i took a
little more time to look at this.

I noticed that some MIDI drivers can be disable at compile time
(OpenBSD does already do this). I made another set of patch that will
handle this situation a lot better.

While here, i noticed that exult has some support for `timidity'
player if detected. But exult does not use timidity directly, but
expect SDL_mixer to be compiled with. As pkgsrc SDL_mixer has no
timidity support, the resulting binary cannot play music. In that
case, we need to disable timidity at config time :

CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --disable-timidity

Hope this helps,
Regards.
