I run dosbox on my Dell Mini-9 & 10 (1 gb ram, 32-bit).
I also get the midi errors, but I never noticed them till I ran from terminal investigating your problem, because I generally keep the system sound muted. But yes (when I turn up the volume), in Doom (for example), I have no midi music, but I do have the sound effects.
Regarding the speed: Have you fiddled with the config file (~/home/.dosbox/dosbox-0.74.conf)? Perhaps it has something to do with the video system being used by dosbox. I found the best for my system is:
output=overlay
(Maybe a better computer would use something else? Possible values: surface, overlay, opengl, openglnb. Default is surface, which was slow on my system. Opengl* doesn’t work for me either, so test what’s best on yours.)
Maybe also adjust the cycles setting?
(You may know all this, so forgive me if I repeat what you know.)
