This does solve the problem. I have tried -a, -D, -e, and -4 and all
give the same message as in my initial posting. Furthermore, adding
up to -v does not give any debugging information to spread any light
on the problem.
Unfortunately, I know virtually nothing about midi, so I have not
tried any of the other options listed by -l

Of course! Given that this is the expert mailing list, I take it for
granted that people (myself included) have tried that plus searching
google or similar before bothering to write a question. I also tried
signing up for the playmidi mailing list, but the mail server
responded user unknown; contacting the author has given no response so
far.
Interestingly enough in my Mandrake 7.2 distribution, the man page is
not in sync with program (option -D is not described on the manual
page) and -l lists options (-k and -w) which playmidi response to with
unknown options.
