Hi Edgar, I simply create this symlink to a legitimate ALSA device (a virtual MIDI port in this case) : $HOME/.dosemu/run/dosemu-midi The link is to /dev/snd/midiC2D0 (because the virtual MIDI device is the third sound device in my system) and it works beautifully for working with my favorite MIDI sequencer for DOS (Sequencer Plus Gold). Let me know if you need more clarification how this works. Best, Dave Phillips http://linux-sound.org
