No, DSSI does not support any drivers of any sort at all.

DSSI uses an ALSA header file that defines a structure used to pass MIDI 
events around -- in preference to defining yet another MIDI event structure 
specific to DSSI.  That's the only connection between ALSA and DSSI.  It's 
entirely up to the host (in this case Rosegarden) how the output of a DSSI 
plugin gets out of the machine.

One could build DSSI plugins using the ALSA header (aseqevent.h or whatever it 
is) and use them on any machine with or without ALSA; it's just a question of 
whether the host would work on that machine or not.
