16       Detects whether the specified MIDI  sound  device  is  available.  This
17       function must be called _before_ install_sound().

RETURN VALUE

20       Returns  the  maximum  number of voices that the driver can provide, or
21       zero if the hardware is not present.
22
23       There are two special-case return values that you should watch out for:
24       if  this  function returns -1 it is a note-stealing driver (eg. DIGMID)
25       that shares voices with the current digital sound  driver,  and  if  it
26       returns  0xFFFF it is an external device like an MPU-401 where there is
27       no way to determine how many voices are available.
