 |Thanks!  What's the "If I want" part?

opl0 will get you a sequencer device.  It's used by playmidi so that you
can do some 'semblance of synth music with your card (e.g. MIDIs).  

If you really want to do MIDIs on 2.1.6 though, you can get much better
results with Timidity (which digitizes the MIDIs using GUS patches and
plays them out the PCM side of your card).

Summary: if you don't care about synth, you probably don't care about opl0
-- doesn't hurt to include it though.
