That module is part of the alsa-driver package.
Is this module of any use for what I'm trying to do?
It is supposed to do exactly what you want.
Why doesn't it get built by "./configure
--with-cards=serialmidi && make"?
in drivers/Kconfig:
| config SND_SERIALMIDI
| tristate "Generic driver for serial MIDI adapters"
| depends on BROKEN
You could try to remove this dependency, but I'd guess this is there for
a reason and that this driver will not work.
In
theory, it would be possible to write a userspace daemon that
connects any serial port to the ALSA sequencer.
I guess I could do that.
I'm doing this; wait for Monday.
There already is one. I have it, somewhere, probably on a disk on a machine that I
don't have powered on at the moment.
I don't remember the name of it, sorry. It was a very simple one-file daemon in C
which compiled and ran on Linux. I was using it to do MIDI communication to an Arduino
some years ago.
