Package: python-pygame
Version: 1.7.1release-4.1
Severity: normal

Judging by the following test I presume that pygame, in certain circumstances, uses timidity to play MIDI files. So a dependency on timidity or a note about that fact somewhere in the documentation would be welcomed.

Without the package timidity installed:

   $ file file.MID
   file.MID: Standard MIDI data (format 1) using 9 tracks at 1/480
$ python -c "import pygame; pygame.init(); pygame.mixer.music.load('file.MID')"
   open /dev/sequencer: No such file or directory
   Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "<string>", line 1, in ?
   pygame.error: /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg: No such file or directory

With timidity installed:

$ python -c "import pygame; pygame.init(); pygame.mixer.music.load('file.MID')"
