Hi Eric,

Attached is a MIDI file of some Medieval music by Machaut that has audible
clicks when used with the Personal Copy GM soundfont (using the recorder
patch, program 75 in 1-based counting, or 74 in 0-based counting scheme)...

I trust you can track down, or already may have the Personal Copy GM
soundfont, but in case you can't here's a link to it that I've uploaded to
my site:

http://www.akjmusic.com/PC51d.sf2 (58mb download!!)

Hope this can help Timidity developers track down the click problem! :)

Best,
AKJ
