When I run pmidi with a midi file while Wacky Wheels is running, I can hear both the midi file I am playing and Wacky Wheels, but now I can also hear more of the music from Wacky Wheels than I can hear when I do not play the midi file at the same time. It doesn't matter whether I start pmidi first or Wacky Wheels first. It seems they are indeed messing with each other. Thanks, Julius
