Comment(by allencmcbride@…):

 Rainer, you're right.  One needs to point Solfege to an external MIDI
 player.  I've been making a dumb mistake this whole time: I've had my
 ~/.solfegerc file hanging around from a long time ago, and it's been
 telling Solfege where to find my MIDI player, even on first run after a
 fresh installation.  I had assumed it was finding and using Apple's built-
 in MIDI player, but I should have known better.

 Now Apple does not come with a command-line MIDI player, am I right?  If
 I'm right about that, then I think I should just include qtplay as a
 runtime dependency in my portfile.  And hopefully I'll find out soon how
 to tell Solfege during installation where to find qtplay.  Otherwise, a
 user will have to be told to go into Solfege preferences and do two
 things: 1) Point to qtplay under "External Programs", and select "Use
 external MIDI player" under "Sound Setup".  Obviously not the smoothest
 user experience.

 I'm sorry about all this; clearly I still have a lot to learn.  If you
 think it best, feel free to un-commit this thing until I have this problem
 worked out.
