Store a midi file in your home directory. Open Nautilus and right click in the midi file. Select "Open with" (other application) or in Properties go to "Open with". Select Timidity in /usr/bin. Appears the text:
'/usr/bin/timidity'
Change it to
'/usr/bin/timidity' -ia

You can use a similar procedure for *.kar (open karaoke) files.
