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. Mark Small
