Description:
I'm not actually sure which component handles MIDI playback in MW, so I stuck this in the general file/repo, please move it if you know where it belongs.
There is currently inconsistent handling of links to media files between MIDI and OGG:
[[:File:Foo.ogg]] --> link to file description page, as expected
[[:File.Foo.midi]] --> link to file description page, as expected
[[Media:Foo.ogg]] --> Downloads file on FF3.0.10
[[Media:Foo.midi]] --> *plays* file in distinct window on FF3.0.10
[[File:Foo.ogg]] --> Inline widget to play file inline
[[File:Foo.midi]] --> links to file description page
Without a doubt, [[File:Foo.midi]] should be either an inline widget or a link to the same play-in-separate-window process that's currently achieved with [[Media:Foo.midi]]. I realise that the variation between the [[Media:...]] calls may be browser-dependent, but that's also something that should be looked into. These functions should have consistent handling.
