I just realised by reading the README of midiplay it can also be used
by DOSEMU, since midiplay can take raw midi input [use midiplay
instead of midid]. Now you can play DOOM in a DOS box with rendered
MIDI on your default DSP device :) To use, do something like

  midiplay ':|/var/run/dosemu-midi' &
  dos

[with mpu401 emulation enabled, of course]

I've heard some more people which had problems compiling midiplay
(including myself), someone cares to create an RPM for it? Then I
might even test the lines above...

I think sox is used quite a lot for conversion, but it doesn't look
like a library to me, but to create one looks like the easiest and
cleanest way to go.
