Soundfonts are their own scene. TImidity uses wave tables made for it. The
en1371 has wave table built for it, available on creative's site. When you
set up the card in windows, you get the choice to have it use this file. I
downloaded the largest one--8 meg--it is a respectable GM/ some GS sound set
but not really for professional use. Doesn't hurt to have a few spare patches
around, however.
I have found no ALSA support for using these files.
