[LAU] [ANN] KMid2 preview release

[Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas]

KMid2 is a MIDI/Karaoke player for KDE4. 

KMid was developed more than ten years ago, so it was time for a revamping. 
KMid2 is a rewrite from scratch, with a new architecture and also some new 
features.

This is a preview release. Should not be used in production.

Here are some major features:
* Plays MIDI and Karaoke files.
* Playback to external hardware MIDI devices.
* Allows to use software synths as well.
* Tempo and volume controls.
* Pitch (transpose) control.
* Rhythm view (visual metronome).
* Configurable character encoding, font and color for lyrics.
* Playlists (song collections).
* MIDI Mapper.
* Channels window, with solo/muting controls and instrument selectors.
* Piano player window, using VMPK artwork and technology.
* Runs in Linux, using the ALSA Sequencer.
