[PD] Midi and Linux

[Søren Bovbjerg]

Midi in doesn't work with emu10k1 (SBLive), and MIDI output requires the the sequencer option is enabled when the module is compiled (or experimental is enabled if you use the kernel driver from 2.4.8 or later).

To get MIDI running properly you'll need ALSA (for the time being, at least..)
