Actually, the version of Timidity that ships with Slackware is a part of
KDE.  It is an extremely ancient version.  As for it sounding halfway
decent, if you've got a high-speed connection or a lot of time, go and get
the large patch set from http://www.stardate.bc.ca/eawpatches/html.  The
site uses frames, unfortunately, but just pick the frame that says
"contents."  Back when I got them, I also had to get rar for Linux
working, but once they are installed and the configuration files are set
up, the difference is amazing.  Sure, it's no substitute for the real
thing, but it's by far the best MIDI playback I've ever heard from a
computer.
