This is expected. The Crystal drivers are not very good, but they do
support midi.

You need to get Jerry Rash involved on this. He probably has the most
experience with Timidity.

Try to get Jerry interested. You may need to e-mail him directly.

You might check to see if you are getting popuplog entries.
