After having 'discovered' the right parameter to pass to the sound module in
order to have midi in activated (modprobe -v snd-cmipci mpu_port=0x300) now i
need know which is the right procedure to have that module with that parameter
loaded by default on boot.
(i guess something around /etc/mod* plus some command perhaps)

Thanks in advance.

Well, if you think it won't be a permanent addition, or you are concerned
you will forget where you put it, you can add it to /etc/rc.local and test
it out.

oh-no, it should be a permanent setup.
Most distro's have simply a /etc/modules.conf in which put various module load
information but debian don't, i can't find a document where it is explained.
(and i indeed cannot understand why they setup to default the sound module to
deliberately omitting to load some of it's capabilities...)

I take it you're running debian. Create a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ (say midi,
or snd-cmipci) with the following text:
options snd-cmipci mpu_port=0x300

That should do it. For more info look at the man page for modprobe.conf.
Also, note that "If the file /etc/modprobe.conf exists, all contents
of /etc/modprobe.d/ are ignored by default." (from the man page)

Thanks for now. I'll try it.

That's interesting.

There was (or still is) a command like 'modprobe-update' or similar which should
update modprobe.conf with the options contained in the modprobe.d directory,
but i'm not sure...
