I really don't know if I should mention this (in any case I might be wrong
altogether because I lak the experience in setting up a linux system) but
you could just go for the basic sound system support and wait for ALSA to
improve.
I have a 2.0.35 kernel system with compiled  in sound support that runs on
two systems, one with an AWE64 and one with an AWE32. Both systems work
fine with KDE apps. Didn't do any midi stuff though to be honest, but I
can play wav files, listen to CDs, play mp3's etc.
I got the alsa drivers down but I haven't had the time to test them yet.
Thought I'd listen in for a while and then go for it :).
