I know this is really late, but let me add that yes, it doesn't look like
Gnome has any great midi software. I have just about finished a library
for reading\writing MIDI files that pretty much conforms to the MIDI file
specs. It was for a personal project but is fairly generic and should be
usable anywhere else (code is in ANSI C). I'm willing to provide the code
and any other help that may be needed. The main problem would be the
actual real-time sequencing stuff. My soundcard's not configured properly
for it so I can't help you there. Otherwise, there's probably lots of
existing code to build a foundation on.  I'm using Timdity which does
software sequencing and doesn't use the /dev/midi* devices. If you (or
anyone else) is looking to get this project of the ground, I'm willing to
lend a free hand. Let me know.

Thanks
