[LAU] Does my audio card has a hardware MIDI synthesizer?

Hi people from LAU,

I have a problem.
Maybe you can help me.
I searched the web, but couldn't find the info.
So the question is in the title.

Here is what I know about the card (the computer
is at work, I don't have full specs).

It's a Dell, Intel CPU, standard stuff I guess.
The audio card is on the PCI bus.
Here is what lspci has to say about that.

I bet the important stuff is the 1028:0214 PCI number, right?
Alsa shows no MIDI device whatsoever (there is a 'Midi Through'
stuff, but that does not count, right?).
So I'm stuck here.
Any help is welcome.
Yeah, timidity works fine, that's not the point. I want
to use the hardware synthesizer (if there is one).
Thanks,
Cédric.
