Manual: Add a midiplay chapter in the viewers section. Based on the wiki page completed with button table(s) and a note about problems on portalplayer targets. Wording could be improved I think, but this is a start.

+\subsection{Midiplay}

+To get MIDI file playback a patchset is required. This file contains the
+instruments required to synthesize the music. A sample patchset is available
+through the wiki (\wikilink{PluginMidiPlay}), and needs to be extracted
+to the \fname{.rockbox} directory in the root of your player. There should
+now be a \fname{/.rockbox/patchset/} directory, with the patchset directory
+containing several \fname{.pat} files and two \fname {.cfg} files. Just
+select a MIDI file saved as \fname{.mid} or \fname{.midi} in the file
+browser to start playback.
