I have a similar problem.  /dev/sequencer doesn't exist, though...  it's 
/dev/.static/dev/sequencer and KMid can't find it.  I can play Midi 
files with Timidity, but that's all.  How can I tell KMid where the 
sequencer is?  Or tell udev to put it in /dev?

Btw, is there a midi plug-in for Firefox?  I hate that "plug-in needed 
but not found" moment...
