PC Speaker driver does not work with imported MIDI files #18

When importing a MIDI file into a sound resource, the sound will play using the General MIDI, MT-32, and Adlib drivers. So far so good. However, the sound does not play if using the PC Speaker driver, even if you manually set one (and only one!) of the tracks for it. I think it's because the sound editor doesn't flag the sounds to play through the PC speaker. This applies primarily to SCI1.1; I haven't really tested earlier versions.

Can reproduce, will have to look into this.

I have a plan on how to figure this one out.

Get/make a short MIDI, preferably monophonic, and use the original Sierra tools to produce a sound resource from it. Compare and contrast that with what SCI Companion produces. Figure out the rest from there.
