So?  Are users of kdemultimedia expected to run SuSE and Red Hat?

Besides, "anyone interested in MIDI" is too-broad a term.  Someone with an 
otherwise-working sound setup in KDE should abe able to play midi files 
without patching his kernel and reconfiguring all ther sound apps on his 
system.

kmidi lets you play midi songs without doing all that.  If kmidi is to be 
replaced by new features in kmid, then kmid needs to provde that.
