Does Mame make Midi requests?

Roland Virtual Sound Canvas & Midi Files
I got an urge to hear those great tunes from Doom and Descent which plunged me into a hunt for sound cards that can still support a waveblaster daughter card.
For those that heard those tunes from a basic soundblaster, you missed out on some great sound.
For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_nC6zlkC2w
I have a Korg which came with a Mediavision Pro 3D. Really outstanding in its own way, though not absolutely true to an original Roland Sound Canvas.
As it turns out, options are pretty much over if your machine is running windows 7
Then I happened upon Roland Virtual Sound Canvas. An emulated SC-55! How bloody cool is that!? Does it work in Win7? don't know yet, but it rocks in XP. After installing, go into your sound settings and there it is for midi. Fire up doom or duke nukem, dosbox. It all works and sounds awesome.
So then I'm thinking, does Mame make requests for midi? It does not appear to. Perhaps it doesn't need to?
