>Description:
	If multiple files are given to midiplay(1),
	it inserts long waits between files.
	The wait time becomes the longer for the later files.

	While waiting, midiplay is in ioctl(SEQUENCER_SYNC).

	I've tested this with opl (at ym (the driver is not imported yet:))
	and pcppi MIDI devices and both of them have this problem.

>How-To-Repeat:
	uudecode this (actually any MIDI file will do).
	This is a part of midiplay(1), you know.

begin 644 g.mid
M351H9`````8``0`!``A-5')K````;`&0/'\$@#P``9`\?P2`/``!D#Q_!(`\
M``&00'\$@$```9`^?P2`/@`!D#Y_!(`^``&0/G\$@#X``9!!?P2`00`!D$!_
H!(!```&00'\$@$```9`^?P2`/@`!D#Y_!(`^``&0/'\(@#P``/\O```!
`
end

	Then, try and compare

	 a. % midiplay g.mid g.mid g.mid g.mid

	and

	 b. % midiplay g.mid; midiplay g.mid; midiplay g.mid; midiplay g.mid

	The example a. waits too long time between files, and the wait
	becomes the longer for the later files.
