Do you see anything when running "amidi -a -d -p portname" for all
ports listed by "amidi -l"?

When you connect the MIDI Out directly to the In (or connect pins 12
and 15 on the gameport), can you receive data that you're sending?

It says "loaded" when the particular module is loaded.  (The external
MIDI port is handled by snd-seq-midi.)  Some CVS version after the
1.0.7rc1 release deactivated autoloading of sequencer drivers because
of a locking bug when initializing, but this has been fixed in the
latest CVS.
