Methinks that the cfg is a waste of time - it's probably generated by
your install...
I know that by the default install (non-user compiled version), that I
actually can play midi files...
timidity 1.mid
a listing of the files doesn't hint at anything that could be used as a
plugin...
# rpm -ql timidity++|grep so
/usr/share/timidity/instruments/bassoon.pat
/usr/share/timidity/instruments/soundtrk.pat
but I would imagine that you could coax mozilla into playing xaudio/midi
or whatever the type is by telling pointing it to /usr/bin/timidity
anyway...because you asked for it...
