Ah! that explains it. I'll use Timidity.
Thanks for the quick response!
Does that mean that there was no point in having "--with-sequencer=yes" as
an argument to 'configure', or does that still provide som usefull feature?
I know that timidity can be run as an ALSA sequencer client (althogh this
does not work on the RH7.2 version I'm using). Does that require the
"--with-sequencer=yes" in the configuring script?
I'm planning to update the Wiki pages for the SB128 to include the
information that there is no onboard midi support, and I want to
give good advice on what to do instead.

Hi,
I recently installed alsa to support my SB PCI 128 (snd-ens1371) (alsa 0.9.0rc3). Everything works greate except for midi.

Your card hasn't hardware to convert a midi file or stream to sound. It's all
done in software under Linux as well as Windows. In Linux you can use timidity.
IIUC Creative Labs has advertised this card in a way suggesting that the
sound/patch/samples have to be loaded to the card before it will
work, like a card with an onboard wavetable synthesizer. However, all is done
in software (the CPU does the work without help from the sound hardware).
IIRC they called it 'wavetable synthesizer _emulation_' :)
HTH,
