I use the bit of code in fluid.c

#ifdef OSS_DRIVER
  int success = fluid_settings_setstr(settings, "midi.driver", "oss");
  //g_print("success %d\n", success);
#endif

which I put in there because it got it working for me (I define
OSS_DRIVER in the Makefile on the compile line). I didn't do any more
about this as everyone except me seemed happy with fluid's default for
the midi.driver parameter, so I assumed it was just some problem with my
installation (I have another, Debian creates /dev/midi1 not /dev/midi,
and I work around that too).
