Hi,
I can't see much benefit to a timidity output in Wine - it seems like an awful lot of effort for little return. Very few general purpose Windows applications actually do MIDI output. The exceptions would be: (very) old games; MIDI file players (plenty of UNIX replacements for these) and music production software. No one seriously using music production software is going to want a MIDI output connected to timidity - the audio quality is not good enough, and if they did want to use it I'd imagine the latancy/timeing would not be tight enough.

Final Fantasy VII uses midi for music, that's my reason.
