Comment 11 for bug 111555

I can verify what Conrad says in the previous post.

By default Totem (Gstreamer) can play midi files with gstreamer-plugins-bad, however it requires the package "freepats".
Sadly, there is no dependency when one installs gstreamer-plugins-bad to install freepats as well. Probably because freepats is ~27MB?

Totem (gstreamer) is able to play midi files, however
1) when you try to seek (use mouse to skip later in the midi file), the playback gets screwed up
2) at the end of the playback you get a message to search for codec which is superfluous as the file was just played.
