Why would I be bothered about MIDI? I've got an on-board sound card that has, get this, 5.1 Surround Sound. 5.1 surround sound, can you ruddy well believe it? Come on, it's 2010, not 1985! Get with the times. Most content will be streamed online within the next 5, a lot of it already is. How will your MIDI cope then? mv /dev/midi* /dev/null ;-)
