Couldn't mplayer check to see if timidity is installed, then launch that
to play midi files?

I'm not sure the mplayer developers would add MIDI playback, as mplayer
is primarily a video player rather than an audio player. You might be
better off using something like XMMS, which is an audio only player
similar to Winamp, and only using mplayer when you want to watch video.

You might also want to check out Timidity, which is a software wavetable
synthesiser that can play MIDIs very nicely with a good SoundFont, even
if your soundcard doesn't have wavetable support.
I have written a plugin for XMMS which will play MIDIs through Timidity
(and will automatically load a song-specific SoundFont if one exists.)
You can get it here: http://members.optushome.com.au/a.nielsen/ There's
also a link to XMMS and Timidity on that page.

Yeah, I know... the problem is I use GeexBox, and Geexbox includes only
Mplayer.... so I asked this...
thanks anyway
bye!
