19 Say Y or M to enable MIDI sequencer and router support. This
20 feature allows routing and enqueueing of MIDI events. Events
21 can be processed at a given time.
22
23 Many programs require this feature, so you should enable it
24 unless you know what you're doing.

29 help
30 Say Y here to enable the dummy sequencer client. This client
31 is a simple MIDI-through client: all normal input events are
32 redirected to the output port immediately.
33
34 You don't need this unless you want to connect many MIDI
35 devices or applications together.

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

73 If you disable this option, the ALSA's OSS PCM API will not
74 support conversion of channels, formats and rates. It will
75 behave like most of new OSS/Free drivers in 2.4/2.6 kernels.

96 Say Y here to enable RTC timer support for ALSA. ALSA uses
97 the RTC timer as a precise timing source and maps the RTC
98 timer to ALSA's timer interface. The ALSA sequencer code also
99 can use this timing source.

109 Say Y here to use the RTC timer as the default sequencer

119 If you say Y here, the minor numbers of ALSA device files in
120 /dev/snd/ are allocated dynamically. This allows you to have
121 more than 8 sound cards, but requires a dynamic device file
122 system like udev.
