MIDI -> audio conversion?

I'm not too sure about that. One of the things that timidity does is play midi without midi hardware... it essentially converts the midi to a wav-like format and sends it to the sound device. If you send it to a file, instead, it can do it at processor/drive limited speeds.

However it does still take SOME time.
