Yes, SW synth of MIDI is much more complicated. But general midi was wide standard and I think that any soudcard with HW wavetable supported it. Also it's working part of SBemu that left working on my SB live. I use some old small MIDI player binded to F3 in my DOS Navigator.
But you're right that when someone will put effort to integrate MIDI player, then it should reflect state of current HW - no HW wavetable so SW emu must come...

BTW I tried in_mod.dll playback and I'm satisfied with it. So I switched to DLL version. Maybe I'll upgrade it also in my HW MPx player (it will take some time to remap keys in INI file because probably my INI is too old for new version of mpxplay - need to check). I hope that P166 is enough for it (in_mod).

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
