You can always do a "yum erase" (WITHOUT the -y option)
to see what it would take with it if removed. For me it
is:

Summary     : PersonalCopy Lite General Midi soundfont in GUS patch format
Description :
Lite (smaller) version of the PersonalCopy General Midi soundfont in GUS
(Gravis Ultrasound) patch (.pat) format.

So it looks like it is sound "fonts" for midi players. And, after all,
who wouldn't welcome 54 megs of sound samples? (I'm glad they picked
the "lite" version :-).
