I agree. Limiting to midi would not be good.
But i think that midi is a totally different sort of animal than   
sounds. Midi are just instructions and the sounds you'll be hearing  
are dependend on the soundmodule, syntheziser, midi instrument or  
whatever thing that will receive your midi commands. As sounds, well  
everybody knows what sounds are. They are the thing themselves.
So if we want to have better music capabilities in Revolution, we'll  
need to look at midi and at playing sounds. But I think it will be  
wise not to mix up the two.
Personally I am mostly interested in midi, but wouldn't mind better  
ways of playing sound at all.
