Well, alsa can (mostly) access the mdi/wavetable part on sound board that actually have one. Normal on-board sound chips don't have such a thing but only an external midi interface. Such cheaper sound solutions can then be enhanced with timidity even on boot (with a startuop scipt): 555 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/timidity -iAq -Os With alsa, there is now no difference to an on-board midi solution. What you surely need is the alsa sequencer being loaded: snd-seq-midi 3392 0 (autoclean) (unused) snd-seq-oss 23616 0 (unused) snd-seq-midi-event 2840 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-seq-oss] snd-seq 37328 3 [snd-seq-midi snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi-event] Windows drivers for such sound cards do actually the same (software midi emulation). Arts is only a sound server, so what does it have to do with midi playback? kmid is used for that and can access the above timidity solution just fine. Only the konqueror file preview does nothing for midi files although kmid (with embedded viewer) is installed.
