No, it doesn't. That's what qsynth, whysynth or Timidity (if you can 
make it work) is for.

RG 11.11.42 just automatically connects.

I use RG mostly for scores. Bringing in a MIDI file usually requires 
some cleanup. For one thing, RG prefers contrapuntal compositions to 
have a separate track for each of the melodies, while lots of MIDIs from 
the web have all the melodies on the same track.
