No MIDI playback

You need to assign the midi track to a synth of some sort.  When you
have some midi imported into Rosegarden, you then need a synth to make
the actual sounds.  Qsynth needs sound fonts (google for sound fonts)
for it to work.

If you are new to linux audio, it might be a good idea to read up a
little on how things are conceptually organized.  It might seem
complicated at first, but when you figure it out it will be well worth it.

Some links to get you started:

http://lau.linuxaudio.org/  (users guide, a lot is done for you
automatically in UbuntuStudio)

Hope this helps,
