I would be delighted to see a few posts by people who actually have
/dev/sequencer (soundcard midi) working with such apps as Rosegarden and
kmid, revealing what sound card they are using and what there
/etc/modules.conf file looks like.  So far I have seen no evidence on
the web that anyone has this working with the 2.4 kernel.  I challenge
anyone who does to come forward and say so.
     

For me it works with snd-emu10k1.
   

Works for me also with emu10k1 on 9.0, but remember you have to load a
soundfont.
Works cool with noteedit.

Ah, so this is a proprietary technology using non-free 'soundfonts'. 
What happened to the old synthesizer OPL3 method used back in the 7.1 
days?  That was totally free and worked without a hitch.  When the 2.4 
kernel came along, it went away.  And now the only posts so far 
confirming /dev/sequencer allude to a proprietary thing from Creative. 
Sounds to me like we are going backward.  Does anyone else out there 
have a totally free solution for /dev/sequencer or has that been taken 
away from us?
