Hi Edgar,

I simply create this symlink to a legitimate ALSA device (a virtual MIDI 
port in this case) :

$HOME/.dosemu/run/dosemu-midi

The link is to /dev/snd/midiC2D0 (because the virtual MIDI device is the 
third sound device in my system) and it works beautifully for working 
with my favorite MIDI sequencer for DOS (Sequencer Plus Gold). Let me 
know if you need more clarification how this works.

Best,

Dave Phillips
