[linux-audio-user] TiMidity++ and FluidSynth

[Dave Phillips]

Greetings:

  For all purposes these days TiMidity == TiMidity++. The original app 
is no longer developed by its original coder, nor has it been developed 
for years. There's no practical reason to go calling it TiMidity++. But 
if it makes you happy... ;)

Best regards,

== dp
