If you look at audio/amsynth it supports midi over usb w/o jack! Test that out after installing audio/oss It's just a matter of getting the OSS IO for these tools. I'm working on getting OSS in Yoshimi as well. It would be cool if after you install audio/oss, run osstest and give some feedback on the quality of audio that comes from your speakers vs what you've been use to.
