Unfortunately, Tie Fighter is still fully copyrighted.  I'm not willing to
incur the revenge of Lucasarts by posting an ISO of my treasured CD.

I found a free demo, and midi works fine with that.  I also tried a demo of
Sam and Max (another lucasarts game), and midi works well for that too.

I assume that speed 0 is the same as settings the hogthreshold to 0.  This
helped, but not enough.  The digital sound is great until I start a mission.
Then the CPU must get bogged down when all of the graphics get going.
