Perhaps, but that is not sufficient apparently.  I added the -oss
plugin.

The software, however, is looking for /dev/snd/seq and not finding it.
It seems that on Linux there is some kernel module to provide this
(and perhaps other relevant parts).  The alsaconf script, which is
suppose is how one configures alsa, makes use of modinfo to discover
information about the relevant kernel module and perhaps load it.

The clue I'm lacking is how to install and/or configure the right
device drivers and /dev/ files so this all works.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Brook
