I tried regular "play" (the one with sox).  It worked and didn't give me the
problem.  Only aplay does that.  I wonder if the ad1816a driver is really okay
and it's just aplay that's wrong.

The status is not changed during playback and it still says Tx bytes  :0.

Where's the simplest Alsa midi player I can get?

  9:          1          XT-PIC  MPU401 UART

The number goes up by 1 every time I stop and restart Alsa.

Somehow, playmidi -e just started working right now, for no reason at all.  I
didn't do anything unusual.  It continued working until I stopped Alsa and
started it again, and then it stopped working again.  I can't get it to work
any more.

When it was working the number in /proc/asound/card0/midi0 went up a lot.
The number in /proc/interrupts didn't go up.  I think that there are only
supposed to be interrupts for input, not for output, so this is probably right.
