Polyfill playback for audio tags with MIDI file extensions? #1

It would be useful for some people if they could use this library without learning Javascript: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2017/02/designing-html-apis/

In the case of MIDI playback, it would be fantastic if this library had a simple way to polyfill MIDI playback using a normal audio tag.

(Although perhaps a separate library using this project would be more appropriate).

This is a cool idea. I'm just focused on my use case at the moment, but if you or someone else wants to make a wrapper that allows it to be used without JavaScript, I support this.

Hi @lgarron, I actually implemented your suggestion. See this package: https://github.com/feross/bg-sound

<script src="bg-sound.min.js"></script>
<bg-sound src="sound.mid"></bg-sound>
