I know that midi input works:

Code:
# cat /dev/midi1
)(+(D-)/#+0-/2&4(05&27&49,5;)7<(9>';@)<>A%C)@AE%CG*EH'GJ%HJ8
(It's much more fluent at cursing than I am, too.)

But ALSA doesn't see it.

Code:
# arecordmidi -l
ALSA lib seq_hw.c:455:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory
#
I can get it doing something with the dummy device, but I want it to use the real port, not the dummy one!

Code:
# lsmod

Even stranger, /dev/midi1 works without any snd_seq modules being probed at all. I guess the device is part of the low-level driver and the alsa modules are supposed to use it, but they don't, just the dummy one. How can I convince alsa to use my real midi port?
