  What are some good settings for Timidity to get
less latency and less
 burden on the system. Default gives broken sound. A realtime-priority=50
 (-51 in top) gives clean sound. Noticeable but not awful latency.
 However, it bogs things down.

 Timidity does not work with jack. It should. 
 It does, just use -Oj as additional argument.
  Works -- does not place a port in the audio but it does work.
 One cannot start it on bootup because it apparently will fail as root. 
Huh? Here, if I start it like this: "timidity -ig -Oj some.mid" I can see audio

ports in qjackctl; if I start it in server mode (using -iA and no filename) I 
see ALSA sequencer ports too.

I think a good place to make it start automatically would be the "Execute script 
after Startup" in qjackctl's Setup dialog (Options tab).
