Folk,

timidity is installed. Yet when iceweasel opens
http://www.contemplator.com/ and when VLC opens
a local midi file, there is silence.

Is there a way for VLC to recognize and play a
midi?

How should iceweasel play a midi? iceweasel>
Edit>Preferences>Content>File Types>Manage has
buttons for Remove Action and for Change Action
but nothing for Add Action.

Should I be using another midi package?

Thanks, ... Peter E.

By adding

TIM_ALSASEQ=true
TIM_ALSASEQPARAMS="-Os"

to /etc/default/timidity after installing timidity itself, you can enjoy sounds in all midi applications including kmid and rosegarden. Perhaps a better result can also be obtained using fluidsynth but I don't know.

Linked plug-in (i use FF):

.mozilla/plugins$ ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/mozplugger.so .
