Greetings.  I'm having a problem getting Rosegarden to play MIDI out
through my PAS 16.  My kernel config file has the following lines
pertaining to sound:

    options EXCLUDE_SBPRO
    options "PAS_IRQ=15"
    options "PAS_DMA=6"
    controller  snd0
    device pas0     at isa? port 0x388 irq 15 drq 6 vector pasintr
    device opl0     at isa? port 0x388 conflicts

FM synthesis works fine, put when I try to play through an external
MIDI device, I get this kernel message:

    Sequencer: No Midi devices. Input not possible

I tried disabling the OPL driver at boot time, and I get a different
message:

    Soundcard: Sequencer not initialized

The MIDI instrument I'm connecting to is a Kawai 330 digital piano.
As far as I know, the pas0 driver is supposed to support MIDI, but I'm
not sure what I/O address it uses, so I don't know whether there is a
conflict.
