I can't repeat here all I tried, it would take a book... I have a SB Live value and a classic GUS. I think I finally understood that midi is not supported for SB (emu10k1) but I've never seen that it is also the case for GUS. I currently use kernel 2.2.13 with modular sound for GUS. I load the module with io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 I can launch playmidi 2.4 without problem with option -g for GUS, everything looks OK, even the xplaymidi animation, only I hear nothing. On my external synth using mpu401, everything works fine with option -e. Maybe the problem is with playmidi but it is not evident to find another player and get it to work. If I use "cat 001.mid > /dev/sequencer" then I get a segmentation fault. P.S. Everything works fine on DOS/Windows 3.1 Cheers -- Alexandre Oberlin http://www.altern.org/ao
