Hello Eric,

I have a SB Live! Value card that I'm trying to find the sfxload program  
for.  I'm using ALSA 1.0.4 on a LinuxFromScratch 5.1 system that I'm  
building.  The references to sfxload I've seen say that it's in the ALSA  
1.0.4 Utilites package, but I can't find it there.  Was sfxload dropped  
 from the utilities package and I need to find an older ALSA package, such  
as the 0.9.6 version to get it?

I am successfully using the Sound Blaster Gameport/Midi adapter cable to  
run a MIDI cable to a Roland Sound Expansion model (M-GS64).  aplaymidi  
using the port 64:0 MPU-401 works fine with the Roland.

But I would like to also be able to use the port-- 65:0 Emu10k1  
WaveTable.  For that I appear to need the sfxload program.

Where to get sfxload?

TIA,
Stephen Stubbs.
