Thanks for the pointer - I'm going to look at Timidity++
(http://timidity.sourceforge.net/) and FluidSynth as well as BASSMidi. It
looks like whichever library I end up using, I'll have to do some work to
expose the library to Python (either CTypes or SWIG).

And yeah, the better soundfonts are big, but they're still a big savings
when you compare MIDI to MP3 or OGG, especially if you have a lot of music
that can use the same soundfont.
