pmidi doesn't have anything to do with the actual digital audio output.
It just sends MIDI commands to a sequencer interface.  If the MIDI
synthesizer output appeared in your sound card's mixer inputs (usually
does), or if you are using the Timidity ALSA server, then you can just
use something like arecord to record the synthesizer output from your
soundcard's mixer.
