Now I have a problem (if this is not the right place to ask): I can play midi files with pmidi and timidity itself, but not with xmms. I loaded timidity as "ALSA sequencer interface" so it should be used by default by xmms, doesn't it?
I have a VIA VT8235 card integrated in the motherboard (an ABIT
KD7).
Sound works ok except for MIDI. I cannot get it to work. I compiled the
midi plugin for xmms and it works ok. I see the progress bar moving and
the oscilloscope oscillating, but no sound.

In alsamixer there isn't any midi, synth or sequencer bar.
Your motherboard does not have a MIDI synthesizer. The only purpose of its MIDI port is to connect to external MIDI devices.
If you want to hear music, you have to connect a hardware synthesizer to your computer, or use a software synthesizer like timidity or iiwusynth.

I see xmms is playing the file, but no audio.
Thanks again. Francesco
