external MIDI sequencer connected through the gameport, or the
internal sequencer of the sound card...

Oh... Is the support still under development? Is it intended at all to
be supported?

I know timidity... It's nice... But still I'd want the hardware
support to work... It's a shame to waste the CPU resources on software
emulation of what the hardware can do...
