That's what we'll do. We should get ALSA MIDI working first, though. I've 
verified that ALSA PCM does work, but, like you, I also get no sound when doing 
ALSA MIDI via timitidy.

I'm wondering, though, if timidity might be part of the problem. When I run it 
with -iA (act as ALSA client), and then play a regular MIDI file through it via 
aplaymidi, the sound is quite broken up. If I add the timitidy option 
--realtime-priority=50, it's better, but still quite broken up. Do you get the 
same thing?
