lilypond -> midi -> ogg vorbis

[mark]

Hi all,

The last few months saw the creation of the freepats sound patterns package and 
updates to timidity. Creating an Ogg vorbis file from midi is now as simple as:

$ timidity -Ov lilypondgenerated.midi

It would be trivial to add Ogg vorbis output to lilypond and/or lilypond-book.

Does that fit into the Lilypond philosophy? I don't know, but I see a few
advantages of integrating Ogg vorbis output support, especially with
lilypond-book:

* eliminates a conversion step for Lilypond users
* easier to burn to CD, use on portable player (this would help me as a music
teacher)
* helps spread the free Ogg vorbis audio compression format
* ...

This would of course add timidity and/or freepats dependencies...

Any thoughts?
