Well, the basic reason is that TiMidity doesn't work in real time.
Only when the song has been completely read will it start to play. However,
you can save the song to a midi file and then play it with TiMidity,
and this does sound great (if you've got the right patches)

it on three machines, so your input would appreciated very much.
Old versions of the patches (not really necessary, but if you're curious...):
