Arggh, midi is driving me nuts.

["Mark J. Small" <msmall@eastlink.ca>]

I've been scouring the documentation and google searches for days trying to 
get midi music to play with dosemu.  I know this can be done, but it just 
doesn't seem to be working for me.

I'm running a developer build 1.3.1 on a debian Sarge system. Kernel version 
is 2.6.11. 7 I have a Soundblaster Live card and the wavetable is working 
properly.

I can play midi files using midiplay -a foobar, pmidi -p 65:0 foobar, and 
kmid.  I can alsa use timidity as an alsa device, and play using pmidi -p 
129:0.

I have tried linking from ~/.dosemu/run/dosemu-midi 
to /dev/midi, /dev/amidi, /dev/snd/midiC0D0,1,2,3.

I have also tried loading a virtual midi card using modprobe snd-virmidi.  I 
then use aconnect to connect 75:0 to the one of the wavetable ports.  I then 
link dosemu-midi to /dev/midi1, /dev/amidi1, /dev/snd/midiC0D3.  

In all cases, I get no sound at all when I try to play a midi file using 
megamidi.  If I try to use the Tie Fighter Sound Setup program, the sound 
setup freezes.  

IF I turn on sound and hardware debug messages I can zillions of these:
MPU401: Read status port = 0xbf

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?  I've seen in the mailing list 
archives that Marko Sormunen has an identical setup working properly.
