Description
The original Age of Empires uses MIDI for background music using the
system's default sound banks for MIDI. I think it is best to add MIDI
conversion support to the assets converter tools, rather than add MIDI
playback support to the engine directly. MIDI is especially troublesome
to get working on linux due to lack of good soundfonts and playback
software.
It is possible to get MIDI playback working on linux by using
libfluidsynth (one of my projects uses this library to support MIDI
playback), but I don't think this is what we want.
