I've been able to get Rosegarden to work with timidity, but everything
sounds like a piano :).
I did some provisional searching of the archives and ran across a post
from May suggesting that if I don't have a real hardware synth
connected to the sound card I would run into trouble. But my sound card
has an MPU-401 (SB Live Value) and some form of midi synth has been
supported by Soundblaster cards for as long as I can remember.
Here's what pmidi says:
Port Client name Port name
64:0 EMU10K1 MPU-401 (UART) EMU10K1 MPU-401 (UART)
65:0 Emu10k1 WaveTable Emu10k1 Port 0
65:1 Emu10k1 WaveTable Emu10k1 Port 1
65:2 Emu10k1 WaveTable Emu10k1 Port 2
65:3 Emu10k1 WaveTable Emu10k1 Port 3
I admit being a little closer - at least I can have Rosegarden report
that sound is OK, but still nothing comes out the speakers. BTW, last
time I experimented with midi and Linux stuff (other than attempting to
get it working with the current sound card) was with an older rev of
Mandrake.

I've managed to get that stuff as well.
