i'm afraid that the MIDI i/o isn't supported by intel8x0 driver for
the SIS chips.  possibly you can load snd-mpu401 driver additionally
with a proper module parameter.  it might work, or might not work.
if it doesn't work, the chip likely needs an extra initialization
(which is not documented).

i can try later on my machine at home, too, which has an onboard SIS
chip.  but IIRC it didn't work...
