Besides timidity, I discovered one other standard Linux midi synth, 
which is fluidsynth. I don't think it is as widely used as timidity, but 
a libfluidsynth wrapper might give you more manual control

Alsa has a lot of midi stuff, but that is all dedicated to midi hardware 
output. There is no midi software synthesizer in ALSA. (and OSS is the 
older and less featureful predecessor of ALSA)

Besides timidity and fluidsynth, the only other one I can think of is 
adplug (which also happens to natively support BAM)

But back to my original question, where in the song did you put the loop 
point-- when I listen to it, it doesn't really seem to need one.
