libtimidity package is missing config file

[Briseur]

If you try something that needs timidity like Hexen II, timidity will fail to initialize and you will have no music.
See thread Some games on Haiku.
The culprit is a missing timidity.cfg file in /boot/system/etc.
As a workaround, it is possible to copy the config file from wildmidi package and rename it.
Also since freepats are used by timidity and wildmidi perhaps the package could be renamed to midi_freepats?

The issue exactly is this:

======== Hexen II Initialized =========

execing hexen.rc
execing default.cfg
execing config.cfg
execing autoexec.cfg
Shutting down SDL sound

But i think it needs the timidity executable to work on the path of the game.

And the latest. The game package is better to include the demo data files outside the /system/apps folder.(In case you have the original game cd and for to copy the data on /home/config/non-packaged
