I think I got the driver I sent John from the ftp.ee.lbl.gov (?) site,
originally.  I definitely didn't write it (I don't know the MPU-401
nor the kernel's guts well enough).  The filename is devmidi.shar.Z.

Yup.  It's a mess.  And the least common denominator (soundblaster) is
quite low indeed.

Really, if you support stereo 8kHz u-law then you've covered all of
the .au files I've ever seen.
