Soundblaster live cards are cheap these days and the hardware
synthesizer is supported using the asfxload utility from the awesfx
package to load soundfonts. For your usage that seems like a much
better solution.
Sound wise I think timidity holds up pretty well to the soundblaster
live when using the same soundfont, but timidity does use a
significant amount of processor resources and there will be some
clipping in passages with rapidly played notes.
