[PD] playing .mid files in puredata

[Winfried Ritsch]

Hello,

Yes xeq has a very genius concept, but if the author does not nurse the source 
and none adopt it ... it should not be used by easy access installation like 
deken, where users nearly unindented can install externals.

But putting it on git is a very good idea, maybe someone adopt it or extend it 
to a new external library.
