Hello,

I have loaded timidity before, with patches. However its playback
seems to be extremely poor. Listening to its playback, I think my
system does not deliver information in enough of a timely manner
to produce a smooth tone (see my original note on this subject).

I don't think I had loaded snd-virmidi, however, and generally I
am extremely vague on what the sound modules do.

Am I missing something important about this problem?

Thanx,
Henricus
