Very Computer

I'm using Linux kernel version 2.2.14, with Sound support compiled in, but
sound.o does not load. I coconfigured the ALSA drivers with the
"--with-isapnp=yes --with-sequencer=yes" options.  After doing the
"./configure;make install" process on the alsa-drivers, alsa-lib, and
alsa-utils packages, I did "modprobe snd-card-interwave" to load the kernel
modules in. I also ran the "./snddevices" script (before I loaded the module)

After that, sound works just fine but only PCM. Trying to play a midi file
using the playmidi utility gives the error "/dev/sequencer: not found" or
something similar. My card is initialized properly by the ALSA. I don't
understand what I'm doing wrong here. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.

I have a similar problem with a different setup, and rather than beat
my head against it, I just use timidity instead of playmidi.  It
sounds better, anyway.  

I think timidity isn't really using the MIDI on the soundcard, it's
converting the MIDI information to sound information using the cpu.
