Unfortunately, Dolphin doesn't use Kparts for embedding media content, like Konqueror does. Instead, it has a PhononWidget [1] for handling media content if the corresponding mimetype is supported by your current Phonon backend. If it supports MIDI files, Dolphin will use it instead of kmid_part, regardless of the setting in the Embedding tab in System Settings->File Associations. If MIDI is not supported by Phonon, Dolphin won't embed a media player for it. Krusader [2] is another KDE file manager, and it doesn't embed kmid_part either. OTOH, KMid doesn't use Phonon, and it is not related to Phonon backends.
