The only way to hear MIDIs was using scummvm in OSS mode. I hadn't to do
anything...it just runs out of the box. But when I switch to ALSA it
doesn't work.

OK...will give that a try this evening.

Right. As 'aconnect -o' shows, my port is "64:0" - if I don't set the
SCUMMVM_PORT env. variable, scummvm claims that it couldn't connect. After
setting the port to "64:0", scummvm runs fine...but I don't hear anything.
