Some channel 16 drums are not detected #53

Open Mohamed00 opened 3 months ago

Hi, I noticed that there are some multimedia PC files with channel 16 drums that are not detected as drums, producing out of tune piano notes instead. Here are several examples from WordPerfect Presentations 2.0. Perhaps converting channel 16 to a drum channel should be an option in the settings? These don't seem to be possible to detect reliably. multimedia.zip

The same heuristic as XMPlay is used: if the track name contains the word 'drum', it gets used as an extra drum channel. Making a setting for it is a possibility but I did not anticipate people change settings between tracks.
