I may be mistaken, but isn't /dev/sequence the built in sequencer of the sound card - which is then possibly non-existent on the solo, or just unsupported - whereas /dev/midi is for an external midi device, e.g. a midi keyboard connected to a joystick port via an adapter...? I know some cards don't actually have onboard sequencers, and have wave-table synthesis in the windows driver... or something like that. (Kind of like a "WinSoundCard".) I also stick to timidity - but isn't there supposed to be some kind of software-wavetable feature in OSS? I noticed a "SoftOSS software wave table engine (NEW)" option in "make menuconfig".
