Let the user/packager decide the tool for MIDI playback.

On Linux the preferred choice is probably PortMidi installed as a system package.
An alternative is pygame from PyPI, but it currently works fine on Linux and Windows only, while macOS needs pygame-ce (community fork).

Is pygame(-ce) still included when building our Briefcase packages?

Yes, pygame-ce is still included in the tool.briefcase.requires section so Windows and macOS packages still have it.
