This is for digital sound only, not for midi.

It looks like midi isn't a loadable module, but you can try to recomile
your kernel with:
device	seq
device	midi

and that should give you the necessary devices to do midi.  I haven't
used this, so I'm not sure it'll work, but give it a try.  Hope it helps
you!
