Hi Jens:

I realize you were asking about OSS. Are you using OSS/Linux or the 
deprecated OSS/Free kernel modules ? If you're using OSS/Linux Dev has 
told me about their new 'cuckoo' technology that allows OSS/Linux apps 
to work in an ALSA environment. I haven't checked how truly 'ALSA-like' 
cuckoo may be, but I'll try to test it asap. That might let you do what 
you want. Othewise, I think you're not going to be able to utilize 
TiMidity as a softsynth outside of an ALSA environment. If I understand 
correctly TiMidity will only function as a server under ALSA.

Why are you using OSS instead of ALSA ?
