Dosemu has two methods for MIDI I/O. One is to use the midid daemon, but
I've had latency issues with it so I prefer the second method, which is
to create a link between ~/.dosemu/run/dosemu-midi and /dev/snd/CxDx.
Yes, I could route it to /dev/midi directly on my desktop machine
because it has a hardware MIDI port, but my laptop has no MIDI hardware.
Thus, if I want to run dosemu MIDI apps on the laptop I need the virmidi
module. The situation is nearly identical with Xsteem, I need the
virmidi module for running Xsteem on my laptop.
As I said before, if these applications abided by ALSA standards I might
be able to designate MIDI ports with the hw:x,x syntax. Alas, they
don't, and I can't.
Best,
