Hi, Clemens.
aplaymidi is working very well... I could play lots of midi files, and
some of them very large and it didn't freeze. My alsa version is
1.0.9a, the MPU401 driver has no extra parameter (just load it in
startup time) and the contents of /proc/interrupts are:
CPU0
0: 1648190 IO-APIC-edge timer
1: 1813 IO-APIC-edge i8042
7: 0 IO-APIC-edge parport0
8: 0 IO-APIC-edge rtc
9: 0 IO-APIC-level acpi
10: 5803 IO-APIC-edge MPU401 UART
12: 66422 IO-APIC-edge i8042
14: 40898 IO-APIC-edge ide0
15: 14637 IO-APIC-edge ide1
19: 139242 IO-APIC-level nvidia
20: 0 IO-APIC-level ohci_hcd:usb3
21: 147820 IO-APIC-level ohci_hcd:usb2, NVidia nForce2
22: 196551 IO-APIC-level ehci_hcd:usb1, eth0
NMI: 0
LOC: 1648075
ERR: 0
MIS: 0
It seems that the MPU401 is where it should be, though I don't know
what this /proc/interrputs is for... :-) The mpu401 driver is getting
the right IRQ (10) and memory address (0x330), as says
/proc/asound/cards. The kernel is 2.6.12-gentoo-r10.
My .asoundrc is very simple, just like the first example in the alsa site.
I'll keep doing more experiments and inform you if some different happens.
Thank you for your attention.
