Perhaps running some linux distro under qemu which supports MIDI could temporarily help? Anyone tried this?

Thanks a lot for your help - I don't seem to be having much luck finding the patch in the archives but I'll keep looking - in the mean time, I'm CCing this to conrads - thanks a lot for the tip.

A set of patches was posted here for 5.4, and they aparently worked. I couldn't get them to compile on CURRENT, though.

/dev/midi and /dev/sequencer
Hello, I'm running 5.4-STABLE, cvsupped and everything rebuilt Mon Aug 22. Does anyone know what's happening with MIDI? I've got no /dev/midi or /dev/sequencer and don't know if it's even possible to turn them on in the kernel at the moment. I've also managed to compile and run Rosegarden-4 - it claims to work with arts instead of ALSA but I'm not having any luck starting it with sequencer or midi... any ideas?
