For me, it seems to work just fine (WaveOut/DS) and I'm getting MIDI sound through timidity then. Even pulseaudio upstream agrees that alsa is necessary for MIDI.
The problem with that is ALSA is not cross-platform like Pulse is.
However, I wonder about that DirectMusic bit
- it doesn't seem to work at all, that is apps
don't produce any sound. Does it need an external app too ? Unless it's supported by the means of installing native DirectX - that would be quite dissatisfying.
If I understand correctly, Art's patch is winmm-only, and doesn't implement DirectMusic.
