Thanks, got it. So if I wanted to deal with the FM sound quality I could use
the legacy synth?

This is the output of aconnect -o when both TiMidity and MusE are running:
[barton@localhost barton]$ aconnect -o
client 128: 'Client-128' [type=user]
0 'TiMidity port 0 '
1 'TiMidity port 1 '
client 129: 'MusE Sequencer' [type=user]
0 'MusE Port 0 '

No I didn't. So to use alsa with the midi port that is on the motherboard I
would need to configure the memory address mpu_port=0x330 in /etcmodules.conf?
Does the line need to go in a specific place, and is that the exact syntax?
Is this documented somewhere? I have installed alsa manually on this machine
before (this time I used the Planet RPMs and alsaconf) and I don't remember
seeing anything that referrred to memory addresses for the midi ports.
Thanks,
Barton
