midi support by default

[Roderick B. Greening]

I tend to agree. midi by default does not seem to be a big concern, and likely 
has a rather niche use case, which is likely covered off when the person 
wanting midi installs their midi app/player anyway.

Pushing upstream to xine is probably the best scenario for anyone.
