modplug decoder: multichannel + midi support

[r-lyeh-archived]

Hey there Dimitri,

Let me know if you are interested in this PR.

I've bundled the modplug library into libnyquist.

Modplug is a PD licensed solution to load multichannel music (mod, s3m, xm, it...) It also can play MIDI files and a wide range of WAVs. MIDI files (and .abc files) require the sound patches located in pat/ folder: these samples are either PD or GPL licensed.

Most if not all of the work came from @JariKomppa 's Soloud repo, so kudos to him :)

Btw, you'd have to update the project files like we did last time

ping @ddiakopoulos :)

So I want to merge this but that folder of binary patterns is killer: both 11mb and with some of that content GPL? Ack!

[r-lyeh-archived]

lol It's an optional folder after all. I can remove the folder, but users will have to figure out how to recreate the soundpatches to play the MIDI songs.

edit: I'll update the README, remove the folder and update the PR during the day

Hey Dimitri,

I've added some more info on midi exporting and soundfont conversion (btw, regarding to the GPL timidity alternatives, the Fluid R3 is a good (and unique fully MIT licensed) soundfont, but it gets close to the gigabyte once converted to .pat, so it's better to have it apart from the repo :D)

Hope everything gets clearer from now

[ddiakopoulos]

Sorry this took so long :sweat_smile:
