Is that necessary?  What is this virtual MIDI card needed for?  I can "record" notes from /dev/midi1, /dev/dmmidi1 and /dev/snd/midiC1D0 like
    cat /dev/midi1 > record
and send the data back to my MIDI keyboard using the same three devices like
    cat record > /dev/midi1
I can hear the notes I recorded before (as expected the timing gets lost).  After doing
    sudo modprobe snd-virmidi
four additional devices (/dev/snd/midiC2D0 to /dev/snd/midiC2D3) are created, but I can neither record nor play back notes in the manner I described above.  Do I still have to do something with those devices?

My suspicion is that everything should also work without snd-virmidi, but I find it strange that all three original devices can be used both for recording and playback.  In fact, I can link dosemu-midi to all of them, and MIDI out works with all of them.  I also tried to link dosemu-midi_in to any of them, but up to now I had no success.  I don't know whether it's because of Dosemu or the DOS program that it does not work.  Do I have to change anything in the dosemu.conf to make it work?

I guess with the appropriate debugging flags it should be possible to tell from the content of ~/.dosemu/boot.log whether MIDI input was received.  What flags should I use?

TIA
