no audible midi-output

While I'm at it, here's another weird thing I'm experiencing.
First of all I'm running kernel 2.6.8-1-686 on sarge. My machine has an
AC'97 chip on the mobo which is reported by lspci as
0000:00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBL/DBM
(ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)
It is some CMedia chip of which I don't know how to find out the
specific model number. Sound output alltogether is working just fine via
snd_intel8x0, I've got the following settings in /et/modprobe.d/sound:
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
options snd-intel8x0 index=0 mpu_port=0x330
to have a complete info lsmod | grep snd gives:
snd_seq_midi 8576 0
snd_seq_oss 34656 0
snd_seq_midi_event 7680 2 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_oss

soundcore 10336 1 snd
In alsa 1.0.7 I didn't have any midi devices available even with the
mpu_port option, after upgrading to 1.0.8 pmidi -l gives:
~ Port Client name Port name
~ 64:0 Intel 82801DB-ICH4 MIDI - Rawm Intel 82801DB-ICH4 MIDI
which is what I'd hoped for. But when I play a file pmid -p 64:0 $file I
only get
Meta event 48 not implemented
Meta event 48 not implemented
and then it waits until the playing time is over. The event not being
implemented is probably lyrics or some other stuff because the file was
generated from sheet music in a windows app, but it clearly shows that
the data is sent to the device, doesn't it? The same file works in
windows (with the CMedia drivers), so the chip itself is okay.
What could be the issue here, any help/sidenotes greatly appreciated!
