Of course the Timidity stuff shows up at 128 for ports 0-3 and alsa is saying 
that port 0 on the AudioPCI is showing up at 16.  But no matter what I seem to 
do, I can't get any audio to come out:
# aplaymidi -l
Port    Client name                      Port name
14:0    Midi Through                    Midi Through Port-0
16:0    Ensoniq AudioPCI                ES1371
20:0    USB Axiom 49                    USB Axiom 49 MIDI 1
128:0    TiMidity                        TiMidity port 0
128:1    TiMidity                        TiMidity port 1
128:2    TiMidity                        TiMidity port 2
128:3    TiMidity                        TiMidity port 3

# aplaymidi -p 128:0 sample.mid  # this works
# aplaymidi -p 16:0 sample.mid  # this acts like it's doing something
                                #  but no sound comes out

Are you /sure/ that there is an on-board synth for this card? For the `-p 16:0` to work you will need to have that. A lot of vendors of soundblaster-based cards advertised that their cards did this... but in reality they were providing some software solution like TiMidity.

The MIDI port you're seeing is probably a game port on your device. So it's just transferring MIDI data and not making any noise.
