aplaymidi: clarify multi-port documentation

Browse source 
The man page did not document what happens when multiple ports are
specified; this could be misinterpreted as the events being duplicated
so that they are played on all ports simultaneously.  As suggested by
Peter Billam, clarify that these ports are only used for multi-port MIDI
files.
