Hello all-

Thanks to all who responded.  I think I'm making
progress, but I still haven't received any MIDI
events for my SoundBlaster Live! Value.

Question: Is it true that external MIDI is sent/
received by the MPU401 port on the card?  Or is
MPU401 a specialized chip not on the SB Live?

Question: Do I need special entries in
/etc/modules.conf to activate external MIDI on
the card?

Question: Why do my mpu401-uart and seq-midi
modules show up as (unused)?

Here are the sound modules loaded at the moment:
% lsmod | grep snd
