Well, if you take the voice file from the CD versions, even if we compress
them using MP3 or any other sound compression tools (a thing I want to try
to do once I get MIDI working), it will still almost fill a CF card.

After, I think TiMidity is using a lot of FP math, thus hurting sensibly its
performance on the PcoketPCs. I will check when I have time to see how much
CPU time it uses on my iPAQ.

But well, considering that people did MP3 implementations entirely in
integer math, I think one could work on 'integerifying' TiMidity (or rather
the critical paths like sound generation and mixing).

OK, I misunderstood :-)
