I can't seem to figure it out. When it plays a MIDI file, it references Timidity++ in the output:

  Metadata:

    instrument      : Timidity GM patches
    sample          : Piano

                    : 5:

                    : 8:

                    : 10:

Playing the file with Timidity++ results in nothing, as Timidity++ apparently isn't a soundfont, and searching "Timidity GM patches" brings up nothing.

FluidGM is a popular soundfont to bundle with distros, but in the case of Arch I'm not sure. I'll try out the package later, i might be able to tell.
