If my sound card does not have a hardware synth, and I do not have any 
external hardware synth, would I be able to play midi thru Jazz? Coz 
currently, in Linux, I need timidity SoftSynth to play any midi files, 
be it thru rosegarden, or pmidi.

Will certainly try to spend some time with the codes to get familiar 
with it. Jazz is good stuffs, nothing comes close on Linux, Rosegarden 
is just too much for my use. I just need to play+loop some midi sequences.
