Is it possible that you just want the synth to work?
MIDI is a standard for connecting to an external musical
instrument. 99% of the people who ask about MIDI just want to play
.mid files on the synth device.

Configure "FM synthesizer (YM3812/OPL-3) support".
If you use modules, you have to 'modprobe opl3'.

If you cat /dev/sndstat, you should have these lines:
Synth devices:
0: Yamaha OPL-3

Go ahead and play midi files (use playmidi or xplaymidi).
