I don't think this is a good idea, because it depends very much on the hardware
you use how well you'll hear those MIDIs. I suggest that something like support 
for
module music (such as .xm and .it etc) using mikmod plugin would be much better 
choise. But after all - we can listen the music we want, if we want at all so 
why should we bother?
