Damn I was hoping there would be a page in the howto. Anyway, when you
compiled the driver did you pass this option?

./configure --with-sequencer=yes 

I assume that the snd_enable_midi=1/0 param is the standard?

It would be good to know the easy way to get these params. There should
be a file that we can read. I'll see if I can find one.
