I tried that, but sndstat says "sndstat:

What I did was rename the devices, and also tried
recreating them with swapped minor numbers like so:
mknod -m 666 /dev/sequencer c 14 2
mknod -m 666 /dev/midi00 c 14 1
ln -sf /dev/midi00 /dev/midi
The main problem is that I don't know why I have TWO
midi devices, if there's only one soundcard (sblive).
The motherboard has an onboard soundcard which is
disabled in the bios.
0: Error: No such device or address
/dev/midi00 : Device or resource busy
1: EMU10K1 MIDI
Why does sndstat think that /dev/midi00 is busy? It
works with playmidi -e

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).
