There is slow work being done by one developer to reestablish midi. A
set of patches was posted here for 5.4, and they aparently worked. I
couldn't get them to compile on CURRENT, though. I was not able to
locate a site on it, and the patch was posted to this list on Apr 26
by conrads(a)cox.net . He may be able to find you a later patch set
from "Mat".
