Bug Description

Binary package hint: timidity

timidity should also come with a /usr/lib/libtimidity.so. In addition a -dev package is needed. Without that timidity based midi support in gstreamer won't work.

I just realize that this is maybe a duplicate of bug #/229786. libtimidity seems to be a fork of timidity (http://libtimidity.sourceforge.net/) and so the problem is that libtimidity needs to be packaged.

Yeah, I don't think this relates to the timidity package itself. Notably, this looks based on the old TiMidity, not TiMidity++, so it's not even very related to the codebase packaged as timidity.

I'd be curious to see what gstreamer requires. One approach that comes to mind would be to apply the same sort of changes (although starting from the existing libtimidity patches might be hard) to the current TiMidity++ codebase, to produce a shared library out of it; would this help gstreamer?
