            Bug ID: 762578
           Summary: Adding MIDI playback into GStreamer
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git master
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-good
          Assignee: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: gyunaev at gmail.com
        QA Contact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
     GNOME version: ---

I have just pushed the portable MIDI sequencer based on Sonivox library - the
one used on Android. Unlike the rest of supported MIDI sequencers, this one:

- has built-in wavetable, so can render MIDI without any patches, soundfonts
etc with good quality;
- is a relatively small (300Kb);
- Is used in Android, so it is supported (and I am using it in my karaokeplayer
project so I intend to support it anyway);
- Builds on and works on Win/Lin/Mac
- Licensed under Apache license, so can be included into -good.

So this could be used to have built-in MIDI support in GStreamer everywhere by
default without requiring external software and data files such as
patches/soundfonts.

It is available here: http://github.com/gyunaev/libsonivox - there is also a
test example which takes MIDI file as argument, and writes down WAV.

Unfortunately I know nothing yet about GStreamer plugins, and how "parsemidi"
interacts with MIDI sequencers, so I can't create a plugin out of it. Is anyone
interested?
