I'll try it and see how it works over time. I'm using TiMidity 2.11.3, 
it's all right when I start using it, but if I leave it running 
eventually the CPU usage climbs to a very high amount, sometimes close 
to 90%, while idling.

Btw, I don't see the resamp option listed in 'timidity -h', perhaps I 
need a newer version ? I'd like JACK support with TiMidity anyway, I 
think the latest version now does, yes ?

Best,
