[linux-audio-user] redirecting pmidi output

[Mark Wilson]

With timidity you can specify the output and name a
file for it; ex. 
timidiy -P ocarina.pat whistle.mid -Ow whistle.wav

How does one accomplish the same thing with pmidi? 
I've tried the following variations:
pmidi (-p 129:0) whatever.mid >> whatever.wav
pmidi whatever.mid > whatever.wav
pmidi whatever.mid | whatever.wav

... but none seem to work.  Do I need to try something
involving 'cat' and '/dev/dsp'?  (I'd try it directly,
instead of pestering you guys, but I'm not at home on
that machine right now).

Alternatively, does timidity allow using a different
softsynth than the .pat files, such as amsynth or
fluidsynth? How do you specify the port like you do
with pmidi?
TIA,
Mark
