midid?

midid?

[Cheryl Homiak]

I'm wanting to set up sound in dosemu. I read the sound-usage.txt and 
wanted to use midid; I do have a ~/.dosemu.run/dosemu-midi. However, I 
have no midid. I didn't see anything in the debian changelog or readme to 
indicate it had been omitted. sorry if i've missed this and it's obvious, 
but can somebody please explain this?
Thanks.

There is not much we can do about this. You should file a bug report with
Debian then. Try
reportbug
at the Linux shell prompt.

Hi Cheryl:

  I've been happy with a simple link to the raw MIDI device, i.e.:

    ln -sf /dev/midi ~/.dosemu/run/dosemu-midi

  Actually, I'm using one of the ALSA virtual MIDI (virmidi) devices, it 
works fine too. Thus, on my system I created the link so:

    ln -sf /dev/snd/midiC1D0 ~/.dosemu/run/dosemu-midi

  I do the same on my laptop because it has no physical MIDI hardware.

Best,
