Well,
the instructions are basically what I've posted before:
you'll have to download the pats files, save it anywhere you want, open the .cfg file and point the "dir" directive to the point you've saved it.
to use it with wildmidi:
wildmidi -c /path/to/cfgFile.cfg <midi>
to make it definitive (for playin' in media player, for example)
cd /etc/wildmidi/
mv wildmidi.cfg wildmidi.cfg.bkp
cp /path/to/cfgFile.cfg wildmidi.cfg
restart device.
As long as I remember, that's it.
If you have any problems, please let me know.
(note: it works with any pats pack, for exemplo: eawpats, goemon...)

After searching and waiting for timidity and reading the tip from the user Matan, i've got MIDI working
Here it goes:
Ctrl + Shift + X (open terminal)
1) sudo gainroot
1.5) apt-get update
2) apt-get install wildmidi
3) apt-get install freepats (18mb or so with instruments)
4) edit "/usr/share/applications/defaults.list" with your favorite editor and put "audio/midi" and "audio/mid" on the "Media Player MIME Types" list (just copy any line, change the mime)
Done
Now just open the MIDI files with file manager.

got it working with eawpats, just used the timidity.cfg...
if anyone is interested I'll put download links and instructions... now we have all instruments and with some decent quality

For those who still get the "unsupported codec" message after installing midi-support, try installing the extra decoders support package afterwards. It should then work.
I noticed the extra decoders package clears some kind of cache at the end of the install. This step may be the magic that gets media player to play midi.
I hope this bit helps.

I have to say, it works great!
The sound font isn't the best, but the fact that it works out of the box... I'm impressed!

Perhaps this is the wrong place, and if so, I´m happy to start a new thread.
I am looking for a way to play some online midi tutorials from a site called wholenote, found here
http://www.wholenote.com/
I select lesson followed by the classical section (but any choice should do), select one of the lessons after which the tab appears as well as the playbutton but no sound. If anyone has any pointers, that would be greatly appreciated.
regards,
anthonie
