Kind of tangential to your question, but I posess lots of MIDI format 1 files that seq24 *cannot* or will not open or import.

This includes files created with arecordmidi.

Steps to duplicate the problem:

	1) record some MIDI from a keyboard using arecordmidi
	2) verify that you now have a type 1 MIDI file (I use the "file" command)
	3) open up seq24
	4) try to get that file in there. It won't, at least on my machine.
