new options for arecordmidi

Hi,

This patch adds three new options to arecordmidi.

-d,--dump
Shows the received events as text on standard output.

-m,--metronome=client:port
Plays a metronome signal on the specified sequencer port.

Metronome sounds are played on channel 10, MIDI notes 33 & 34 (GM metronome standard notes), with velocity 100 and duration 1.

-i,--timesig=numerator:denominator
Sets the time signature for the MIDI file and metronome.

The time signature is specified as usual with two numbers, rep- resenting the numerator and denominator of the time signature as it would be notated. Both numbers should be separated by a colon. The time signature is 4:4 by default.

Regards,
Pedro
