As has been mentioned before, Luigi's driver has yet to impliment midi support. So, 2.2.5-STABLE still doesn't support *full* AWE out-of-box, you need to add the awedrv kernel patch and install some other little midi programs like awemidi and awesfx (for playing midis useing the AWE patch, and for loading soundfonts repectively) for the full AWE experience ;-) I found all the info needed to get all this to work on Randal's site and in Conrad's PnP information file (also on Randal's site).
