This looks good. Don't ask me about MIDI stuff though, I seem to have
broken that since I last used drvmidi (probably with a 2.0 kernel. No
wonder.)

'-a'? The man page doesn't mention what that option does except in the
context of the '-t' option. Try doing an 'lsmod' to make sure the modules
are actually being loaded. Right now I've got these sound modules loaded
(with an mp3 player going):
Module Size Used by
sb 36500 1 (autoclean)
uart401 6384 1 (autoclean) [sb]
sound 63576 0 (autoclean) [sb uart401]
soundlow 300 0 (autoclean) [sound]
soundcore 3204 6 (autoclean) [sb sound]
If nothing's being loaded, do a 'modprobe sb'. If that doesn't do
anything, an error message will probably have been printed to
/var/log/syslog.
