no, timidity had not previously been installed on my system.  if you
look at kmid's dependencies, you will find that timidity is not one of
them.  should that be fixed?

i installed timidity and uncommented the "TIM_ALSASEQ=true" line.
when i ran the rc script, i got

$ sudo invoke-rc.d timidity start
Starting TiMidity++ ALSA midi emulation...ALSA lib
seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file
or directory
error in snd_seq_open

so it looks like timidity doesn't work either.  note that there still
is no /dev/snd/seq file on my system

$ ls -l /dev/snd/seq
ls: cannot access /dev/snd/seq: No such file or directory

i tried running kmid, but ran into the same errors as before.
