"problem" was that I didn't have any speakers connected to card1
(because I use it only for its MIDI ports; card0 is a Delta 66), and as
soon as I connected some speakers I could hear the sound. Doh...
But why is Java switching devices ? Where does it get the message that
it should do so ?
Ahh! Now I begin to understand why the sound demoes in Java3D were so
silent when I tried to run them here :-D
I would would believe it notices that the delta66 midi does not exist
and therefore card0 as a whole is considered incomplete compared to the
"superior" card1
Apparently the OSS implementation was written on another day by someone
else with a different strategy.
Long shot: Perhaps it could be possible to symlink around the issue, so
that Java believes the midi I/O from card1 belongs to card0?
