You don't need to run timidity in alsa-sequencer-mode just to play a midifile. Just run: timidity file.mid or timidity /usr/share/midifiles/*.mid Timidity has also several grafical interfaces, including a simple but functional gtk interface. This is the configure I used to compile timidity if you want to compare:
export CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=pentium4 -mtune=pentium4" ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --enable-audio=alsa,oss,nas,portaudio,jack,arts,esd,vorbis,ao,flac,speex \ --enable-dynamic=ncurses,tcltk,gtk,emacs --enable-network \ --enable-spectrogram --enable-server --enable-alsaseq You can run timidity in alsa-server-mode so that other applications can use it to render sound, like Kmid, Noteedit or Rosegarden. (This can be a little heavy, as you noticed) Remeber also that you can easily convert your midi files in ogg or wav with timidity. About soundfonts: I have tried and use alternatively two version of eawpats (v.10 and v.12) PC51f.sf2 and CT4MGM.SF2 (the last are the native soundfonts of my soundcard, I have find it in the card's cdrom and I don't know if they are also freely available on the net) > Sorry for the off topic discussion. Midi is not in the BLFS. Oops, too much noise about sound? :-) HTH, A.
