Hello again!  I already installed the ALSA 0.5.11 driver by way of the 
./configure - make install - ./snddevices - /etc/modules.conf procedure, 
using the --with-sequencer=yes flag.  After that I installed the 0.5.10 RPM 
packages for the libs and utils.  I then set the volume on my external 
speakers to zero and used alsamixer to do the following things, according to 
Chapter 8 of the ALSA HOWTO:

UN-mute Master, CD, Line In, MIC, PCM, and Input Gain. 

Raise the Master and the source faders to 100%, Input Gain to about 50%.

Then I raised the volume a bit on my speakers and tried to use Jazz++ 4.0.0 
to play a MIDI file.  I got the following error messages on loading the 
program:

open sequencer: No such file or directory
Could not install alsa driver.
Jazz will start with no play/record ability

What is still missing, I wonder?  Thanks in advance for any additional help 
you can give me!

P.S.  I do have /dev/sequencer and /dev/sequencer2, a symlink to /dev/music.  
 "cat /proc/asound/cards" gives the following output:
0 [card1          ]: AudioPCI - Ensoniq AudioPCI
                     Ensoniq AudioPCI ES1371 at 0x6c00, irq 11 cat

"cat /proc/modules" shows, among other modules, the following:
