If it doesn't work in a pipe you can write a shell script to write it to a temporary file then play it in mplayer. The script would look something like: timidity -Ow $1 mplayer `basename $1 .mid`.wav rm `basename $1 .mid`.wav This above script will only work if the file is .mid I think though.

I can't seem to figure out if ecasound can do the fast forward and rewind stuff, and I find Timidity to bewildering to contemplate. > > -ken > _______________________________________________ > Linux-audio-user mailing list > Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
