I did the same, and I attach a screenshot of audacious playing the file, called mid.midi. The little white blip above the Play button is the equaliser graph displaying the first c' at 2 min 40 sec of playing time. (Yawn.) I also attach a screenshot of timidity playing the same file. Notice the length of the file: 4 seconds; and that's how long it plays for. Cheers, David.
