[PLUG] Timidity config--Debian

I found out that TiMidity is supposed to have a
configuration file called freepats.cfg in
/etc/timidity. It isn't set up right. I looked into my
FreeBSD partition, which has TiMidity working, but
they must use a different setup. I then downloaded a
freepats.cfg file that doesn't work, and a .mid file
to illustrate the problem. The choice of file was
arbitrary, the first one I came across.

No pre-resampling cache hit

Could anyone who has this working on Sarge provide
information on how to set it up? Otherwise I'll keep
looking. Perhaps someone has a configuration file that
works.

The next file I came across was ussr2.mid, but I
didn't download it. The results would probably be the
same.
