'man timidity' is your friend. See the -i option.

On Marv's system TiMidity has been compiled to support only the GTK and 
Xaw graphic interfaces. However, both of those GUIs include the 
transport controls that Marv asked about.

So for Marv's PlanetC RH9 :

    timidity -ig foo.mid

or

    timidity -ia foo.mid

Best,
