Hardware synths would probably be considered embedded devices and would only have the minimum hardware to 
perform the task, so whilst there is firmware, there wouldn't be an operating system as such, given the 
device only performs one task.

Pulse/ALSA have nothing to do with externally connected hardware synthesizers.
