Thank you, Loong, for your response. I had the plugins themselves already installed too.
But I didn't have TiMidity installed. I installed it newly.

Now I tried to play a MIDI file and Banshee freezed. I tried to kill it and start it again and it seems it quits immediately but in a weird manner:

banshee &
– nothing happens

banshee
– blocks the command line as if it was running

killall banshee
– no such process found

After a reboot, it’s possible to launch Banshee but as I try to play a MIDI file, it highlights but Banshee freezes again.

It emits a log line:
[Warn 19:51:12.268] Seem to be stuck loading file:///home/pavel/<path>.mid, so re-trying

Now, it’s possible to restart Banshee.
Tried another file and it actually plays!
Tried the first file and it freezes Banshee.
Tried several files and some play, some freeze.

So it appears to be a problem with some files only.

Tried with TiMidity and one of the problematic files plays OK in it from command line.

This seems to me to be a bug. But I don’t know in what piece of software. Mono? GStreamer? Banshee?

Thank you guys for your help. Should I file a bug?
