Can't play MIDI files (PCM works ok)


I'm trying to play a MIDI file with kmid, but can't hear any sound. Rosegarden4 says "MIDI ok, no audio". PCM works ok (I can play mp3, ogg, flac, etc. )

I'm using kernel 2.6.4 with the following configuration:
Code:
#
# Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
#
CONFIG_SND=y
CONFIG_SND_TIMER=y
CONFIG_SND_PCM=y
CONFIG_SND_HWDEP=y
CONFIG_SND_RAWMIDI=y
CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=y
CONFIG_SND_SEQ_DUMMY=y
CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y
CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=y
CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=y
CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS=y
# CONFIG_SND_RTCTIMER is not set
# CONFIG_SND_VERBOSE_PRINTK is not set
# CONFIG_SND_DEBUG is not set
And the sound card (soundblaster live value):
Code:
CONFIG_SND_EMU10K1=y
Here's the output from Rosegarden4:
Code:
Rosegarden 0.9.6 - AlsaDriver - alsa-lib version 0.9.8

  ALSA Client information:

My user is in the audio group, and I even tried playing MIDI files as root. I couldn't find anything suspicious in dmesg output. Any suggestions?

TIA
