c++ - Using built in general midi on OS X using RtMidi?

Question

I'm trying to write a C++ app which plays midi sounds, but I'm having some difficulty. I got the examples that come with RtMidi to compile out of the box, but running the midiout example, I don't hear anything. Running the midiprobe example I get:

There are 1 MIDI input sources available.
  Input Port #1: AudioFire4 (2357) Plug 1

There are 1 MIDI output ports available.
  Output Port #1: AudioFire4 (2357) Plug 1

But that's just an audio interface that I use for using multiple speakers. I don't use any of the midi functionality on it.

Does anyone know how to get RtMidi to use the built in system general midi sound bank so that I can actually hear something?

Thanks, Gabe

如果其他人对此感到好奇，我最终安装了 FluidSynth 并下载了 FluidR3 soundfont。这似乎工作得很好。只需运行它，它就会将自己呈现为一个 MIDI 设备。
