I've had to set the MIDI port in each application (e.g. kde control 
centre, xmms, rosegarden).

pmidi itself uses the environmental variable ALSA_OUTPUT_PORTS

playmidi uses the -a option to send output to the EMU10K1

If using the EMU10K1 wavetable, you need to load the soundfonts e.g.:

asfxload /usr/share/sounds/sf2/8mbgmsfx.sf2

(If you don't have the *.sf2 file, a search engine should find it).
