[linux-audio-dev] aseq -> smf or audio

Hi all, I am doing a modest partial MWPP implementation for a networking class and I want to demo it for the professor and class, but am not keen on carting my midi keyboard around campus if I can help it. Realtime would of course be nice, but a pre-recorded sound file would be ok too. I thought timidity++ would be a reasonable way to do this, but unfortunately timidity sounds _awful_ when used as an ALSA sequencer client, even when I'm feeding it with pmidi (i.e. I've ruled out network jitter). It's very jittery. pmidi or my own program going to the hardware midi port has no such jitter. Is there a setting to make timidity behave better? I've tried a few things (like -B 0) but to no avail. What's more, I can't get timidity to output to a file with the -iA switch even if I do get the jitter down. Alternatively, and probably more cool, I could create an SMF and play it with timidity or playmidi or make a sound file with csound or something. I like the csound option. :) Is there something out there that will take midi from the ALSA sequencer and create an SMF?
