+Summary: MIDI doc : adding .kar (karaoke) file information
+
+here are some informations i have discovered on .kar files :
+
+they are plain midi files and seen as such by "file" :
+
+file /mnt/windows/D/Zarbi/gstreamer/unsupported/midi/kar/fr/Dans\ La\
+Simca\ 1000_2.kar
+/mnt/windows/D/Zarbi/gstreamer/unsupported/midi/kar/fr/Dans La Simca
+1000_2.kar: Standard MIDI data (format 1) using 13 tracks at 1/120
+
+they contain both music (std midi) and lyrics synched with timestamp.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------
+the following come from a text file i found somewhere on the net :
+
+KAR files are based on standard Midi files with the following additional
+events:
+ 
+The KAR text meta events start with an @ followed by a character indicating
+the type of KAR text meta event, then followed by text for that event.  The
+following text meta events occur embedded in regular MIDI text events:
+ 
+FileType:     @KMIDI KARAOKE FILE
+Version:      @V0100
+Information:  @I<text>
+Language:     @LENGL
+Title 1:      @T<title>
+Title 2:      @T<author>
+Title 3:      @T<copyright>
+ 
+The following lyric text indicators are defined.  A \ (backslash) in the
+text is to clear the screen. A / (forwardslash) in the text is a line feed
+(next line).
+
+
+i got some thousand .kar sample files if you want to look
