The other two messages are not bound to the first one, they are not sound related. I'm often
seeing them, you can ignore them.

This is the same msg as in the first case.
It means that in the Eee's kernel, there is not the MIDI sequencer support compiled in.
You will not be able to play MIDI files (from wine as well as from Linux itself). However,
normal (wave-based) sound will probably work.

Please consult Asus Eee's manual/mailing lists/newsgroups.
