Is there a way for me to re-order the OSS (not alsa)
midi devices that show up from sndstat?
The reason is I am using the SB-live! soundcard and am
unable to record input in rosegarden21 because it
records midi from the first device (#0) and I am
having somehow some kind of conflict resulting from 2
midi devices. Sndstat says:
MIDI devices:
0: Error: No such device or address
/dev/midi00 : Device or resource busy
1: EMU10K1 MIDI
I don't know why one soundcard results in 2 drivers
but I'd like to disable the bad device or reorder
them.
This is for knoppix (ALSA isn't an option) and and I
have confirmed that midi output works (since playmidi
-e works) and that midi input works (by running a
short program that echo midi input to screen, using
/dev/midi)
One trick I used a long time ago is to just rename the device files (or
recreate them with mknod with swapped minor numbers).
