-The MPU401-UART interface is disabled as default. You need to set
-module option "mpu_port" with a valid I/O port address to enable the
-MIDI support. The valid I/O ports are 0x300, 0x310, 0x320 and 0x330.
-Choose the value which doesn't conflict with other cards. With
-CMI8738 and newer chips, you can use "mpu_port=1" to use a PCI port
-address that does not conflict with any other card.

OPL3 synth below).
