meaning of EMU10K1_MIDI vs. EMU10K1_SYNTH

[Lee Revell]

I noticed that EMU10K1_MIDI (and voice->use->midi) is never used.  The
wavetable synth uses EMU10K1_SYNTH / voice->use->synth.

Can I remove it?  I cannot see where you would want to make a
distinction.  AFAICT it's needless bloat.

Well, the names might be misleading, but the difference should be:

1) voice allocated for MIDI (usually dynamic assignment)
2) voice allocated for wavetable synth (usually static assigment - 
   modplayers etc.)

I think, the later support is not implemented in emu10k1, but it is 
implemented for example in trident (where the midi support is mising).
