Summary: Where is allegro music? And allegro_message?

Initial Comment:
Hello. 

Allegro 4 supports sounds and midi music. And there is an addon for mp3! That rocks!
Allegro 5 is suporting sounds now, waves, etc...
After searching a while, I saw that allegro 5 does not support music!!! Midis or mp3 or anything! What is a game without music? Tibia?

Some guys told me to found some other lib to make that, but I would like allegro to do that :)

Another thing is adding the allegro 4 'allegro_error' macro and 'allegro_message' function to allegro 5! How am I supposed to tell the player that a image file is missing? Or something with his sound system is wrong?

That is 2 suggestions that would fit very well in allegro 5 :)
Thank you!

Message:
I'd also say, MP3 and MIDI are both kinda stupid formats. Of course nothing
speaks against a third party addon supporting them - it should be quite
simple making a libmpeg or timidity wrapper. But music really should use
OGG which we already support.

As for allegro_message, it would be trivial adding that to the native
dialog addon.

Message:
Allegro5 supports ogg music just fine. As for allegro_error, theres
al_get_errno which gives you libc errno style error codes.
