Maybe you can pipe the output of timidity to mplayer. If it doesn't work in a pipe you
can write a shell script to write it to a temporary file then play it in mplayer. The
script would look something like:
timidity -Ow $1
mplayer `basename $1 .mid`.wav
rm `basename $1 .mid`.wav
This above script will only work if the file is .mid I think though.

There seem to be a ton of MIDI players for the command line, but they all seem to not be
interactive. I can't seem to figure out if ecasound can do the fast forward and rewind
stuff, and I find Timidity to bewildering to contemplate.
