[Alsa-user] MIDI problem with alsa and OSS?

[Francesco <fr...@em...>]

Good evening averybody.
I have A slackware 8.1 updated to kernel 2.4.21. I compiled it with 
sound support as a module. Then downloaded alsa-driver configured and 
installed. I have a VIA VT8235 card integrated in the motherboard (an 
ABIT KD7).
Sound works ok except for MIDI. I cannot get it to work. I compiled the 
midi plugin for xmms and it works ok. I see the progress bar moving and 
the oscilloscope oscillating, but no sound.

If I do lsmod I get (excluding non sound related modules):

In alsamixer there isn't any midi, synth or sequencer bar.
Maybe I have to specify some option loading the module?

Someone had and solved this problem?
Thanks.
