Native midi play, to me, it one of the Dark Arts solvable using timidity
instead. It's saved me a ton of grief. Do you have the timidity-patches
file installed?? That one is about 9 megs of sound fonts and there is
another one that I can't remember the name of that's a lot bigger. But,
you gotta have the sound fonts in order for it to tootle anything. I
hope this helps and someone volunteers the name of the rpm for the huge
soundfonts. Ah! Found it in my updates directory:

PersonalCopy-Lite-soundfont-4.1-3.fc7.noarch.rpm

Why the heck timidity isn't in the name of this file is kinda strange. A
grep on "timidity" would never find it. It's almost 15 megs worth! Lotsa
sound fonts in that one! I hope whoever maintains this package inserts
"timidity" somewhere in the file name. Ric
