I had tried that - I think that I just commented out the reset
command. It would not crash or reboot, but it did not haver
functionality either.

yes. I usually used
amidi -p hw:0 -d

I've done this until I traced it to the first outb() call, i.e. the
initialization mentioned above. The first outb() will cause the reboot.
