There may be some confusion here, because your description above 
sounds like Rosegarden-2.1 (the very old, but much more lightweight 
application -- OK for notation, but not a good sequencer) whereas 
most of the replies refer to Rosegarden-4, which is newer and 
generally better but might be rather heavy for your hardware.

Rosegarden-2.1 used the OSS sound drivers, Rosegarden-4 (like most of 
the other apps discussed here these days) uses the ALSA sound 
drivers.  It's not clear from your mail which (if either!) you're 
using -- a quick test for ALSA is to run /sbin/lsmod and see if any 
of the modules listed have "snd" in their names.
