Yes, it does.  Well, it's not very easy to avoid, since the
meaning of the options concerns the player-process part of
kmidi rather than the ui-process part and since timidity can
work independently of kde.  I've fixed this now, though no one
has applied my patches.  Am I supposed to do it?

By the way, kde's parsing of the commandline is not quite right.
After an option introduced by single "-", there has to be a
space between the option letter and its argument, but there shouldn't
have to be.  So, for example, to have kmidi use the arts C
driver, I say "kmidi -O A", but for timidity (using getopt),
I can say either "timidity -O A" or "timidity -OA".
