If you are looking for the Allegro game library, go to the Allegro homepage.
This is a simple midi player. The work of playing the midi isn't done by the program itself, but by the underlying library with the same name: Allegro. Actually, the history of this player goes back to the "exmidi" example of the Allegro library. I started using it as .mid player, because it was easy to configure to all sorts of output devices (e.g. alsa:dmix or jack), where timidity would cause problems (at that time at least). The playback quality is nowhere near the one of timidity of course - Allegro will try to either use the system's midi capabilities, and if that's not possible, do a very poor attempt at converting the midis to wave data in real time.
Besides playing the midi, allegro midi player also shows some information about the currently playing midi. The most interesting is the display of the notes, as piano keys and musical notation, both of which are updated in realtime.
