Some of the OSS-drivers does not support midi. I have a Soundblaster Live Platinum, and AFAIK the OSS (kernel)-driver does not support midi. AFAIK this is true for all SB Live cards. If the kernel-driver for your card does not support midi, you'll have to check out ALSA ( http://alsa-project.org ). There are two series of ALSA-drivers 0.5 (which is now considered deprecated) and 0.9. AFAIK 0.9 is now at RC6-level. ALSA has OSS-emulation at kernel-level, by the way. You might also have to get a utility to load soundfonts into your card. For SB-cards you can use "sfxload", which on debian is in package "awesfx". After this I would test with a native Linux-application. The ALSA-pages has links. When it comes to wine, midi support is only available in the OSS-driver ( that would be wineoss.drv ). So make sure that one is selected in the wine-config. AFAIK only midi-out is supported (but that is probably what you want). As a Windows application to test with, I would suggest JAZZ++ ( http://jazzware.com ). This is an OpenSource sequencer , which is available for both Linux and Windows. It uses wxWindows, so you should be able to build it with debugging-info too, with a free compiler ( MinGW32 ? ). If you give me more details about your card, I can probably help you more.
