Right ... in the Duke3D setup program I selected 'music via
General Midi' and I could hear the 'Duke Theme Music'! But
the game itself would not start (not until I selected 'no music
card' again). I suppose you cannot play 2 sounds (effects + music)
at the same time. Is there a fix? Do I have to study esd, artsd?

Thanks very much for your explanation on the 'magic', i.e. port,
number. After starting timidity with -ir 7777 the midid no longer
needs a -p parameter. This information should go into the doc's
(or on my Dosemu for Dummies page when I get around to updating it..)

I'll experiment with the latest version of timidity.
