Bugzilla Bug 104254

I emerged timidity++-2.13.2-r2 and timidity-eawpatches-12-r4 on my gentoo linux
ppc64, and it 
worked well playing midi files. May be they could be marked "~ppc64".

timidity++ has a use flag for portaudio, which didnt compile for me.  We'd have
to mask out the flag i guess. thoughts?

I didn't do anything about changing the programs, I emerged them, played with
midi files, and it just worked.

Marked timidity++-2.13.2-r2 and portaudio-18.1-r3 ~ppc64
