If your talking about my site I have just collected all the music related howtos I could find. I'm still trying to grok (onboard) midi but I'm pretty close so once I get it up I'll be able to add something for that.

It really depends on which card you are using. There are plenty of references to sblives and midi but hardly any for any other cards. Still It should be straight forward once you know how. ;]
Mian thing seems to be compiling with --with-sequencer=yes and adding snd-id-midi=1(or something similar) to the modules.conf file.
Then modprobe snd-seq-oss
cat /proc/asound/sndstat to verify the midi is switched on. Then you should be able to use pd to get some signals flowing.
The last part is where I'm up to. Maybe I'll try again tonight.
Regs.
