OK, I sent a patch describing runtime setup for MIDI playback.

The packages `freepats` and `fluid-3` are 31.9 and 13.9 MiB
respectively. I think that the best solution would be to include them as
inputs to packages that use sdl-mixer to actually play MIDI files. I did
so for CorsixTH (patch submitted), which was also the reason for the
sdl-mixer patches. :)

Thank you for the feedback!
