Ah, thanks. I think I was confused by the fact that the module does not
exist in Ubuntu or Debian.
Is this module of any use for what I'm trying to do? Why doesn't it get
built by "./configure --with-cards=serialmidi && make"?
I've also
seen a snd-
serialmidi module mentioned a couple of times, but it seems to have
been removed from the kernel years ago.
That module is part of the alsa-driver package. 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. Basically, ttymidi[1] seems to be halfway
there, I'd just need to modify it to work bidirectionally and follow the
actual MIDI spec...
