	Ok. Adding /dev/midi or /dev/midi0 or /dev/midi00 never work. It
just won't do anything. However (as mentioned before) adding /dev/sequencer will work (as in,
it will be added to the midi manager list).

	Ok it's funny now. I rebuilt rosegarden with --with-alsa. It's the
other way around now. I can get input from my digital piano working, but
not playback.

	And after running rosegardensequencer, there is nothing showing in
the midi input list.

	Here is the message from rosegardensequencer:
