[linux-audio-user] midi through gameport of emu10k1 based card

[Esben Stien]

I'm trying to get my midi keyboard working through the gameport of my
emu10k1 based card (Creative SoundBlaster Live). I'm using
linux-2.6.10 and alsa-lib-1.0.4.

I'm testing with a known to work on usb, a behringer bcf2000 midi
controller.

Might it be that Creative requires a non-standard cable?.

This is what I get: 

#amidi -l 
Device    Name
hw:0,0    EMU10K1 MPU-401 (UART)
hw:0,1    Emu10k1 Synth MIDI (16 subdevices)
hw:0,2    Emu10k1 Synth MIDI (16 subdevices)

#amidi -d -p hw:0,0

Anyone knows what else to test?.
