Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. When I click the link, rather than it playing inside of Firefox I automatically get prompted for what I would like to open the file with (totem by default), which plays the midi file fine for me. Could you please describe the exact behavior you are experiencing for us?

The "Play" button is green but when I click it, it says stopped and the
green arrow is lit again. It is the embedded player that is broken. I can
download and play the file.
