Hi, first of all I tell you that I solved this problem!

I had this problem useing rosegarden (I wanted to listen to what I was 
writeing). I solved this launching timidity like server. It creates software 
midi ports that a sequncer like rosegarden (or kmid?) can use to play midi 
files.

My experience is that it won't work if started at init time: remove it from 
the runlevel and start timidity server by hand.

I didn't use the timidity-eawpatches.

I'm sorry, but at the moment I can't give you the rigth command line to start 
the timidity server.

pier
