[vorbis] convert midi directly to Vorbis (Unix users enjoy)

[Lorenzo Prince]

Just thought soome of you all may be interested in this.  It is a small
simple Bash script that will convert a midi file to Ogg Vorbis at the
quality you specify using TiMidity++ and oggenc.

If you have any suggestions, feel free to either implement them or send
them to me either on or off list.  If you decide to implement a suggestion
yourself, I would like a copy of your modified version of the script sent
to me off list.

Unix users enjoy!
