Playing Midi files for Intel AC'97

I've a Dell 4550 with Intel integrated AC'97 sound card.

# lspci
00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM
(ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01)

# aplaymidi -l
Port Client name Port name
14:0 Midi Through Midi Through Port-0

Based on above aplaymidi output, does that mean my card does not have a
on-board sound table of sort, so, there isn't a virtual port that allows
me to send midi commands to, and have it played through dsp?

Currently, I'm able to use Timidity to process a midi file, translate it
to wave and output to dsp. However, I believe this approach is not
integrated to alsa. As a result, I think, Audacious isn't able to play
midi, because alsa system isn't setup to play midi.

Below is lsmod output, I'm not sure if I missed loading some modules.
