25 Say Y or M to enable MIDI sequencer and router support. This
26 feature allows routing and enqueueing of MIDI events. Events
27 can be processed at a given time.
28
29 Many programs require this feature, so you should enable it
30 unless you know what you're doing.

35 help
36 Say Y here to enable the dummy sequencer client. This client
37 is a simple MIDI-through client: all normal input events are
38 redirected to the output port immediately.
39
40 You don't need this unless you want to connect many MIDI
41 devices or applications together.

43 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
44 will be called snd-seq-dummy.

125 If you say Y here, the minor numbers of ALSA device files in
126 /dev/snd/ are allocated dynamically. This allows you to have
