FWIW, The M-audio systems abide by open midi specifications and are
platform-independent.  I don't know about the driver situation.

There is a program which can be used to dump midi signals to stdout.
It might be a good test as it's very simple to configure and its
results are very clear, unlike the audio programs you'll want to use.
