Last Sunday 13 February 2005 19:13, Noah Roberts was like:
I suggest you look at the options in your alsa configuration file. What distro
are you using? (sorry, not been taking notes ;-)
mine looks like this:
$ cat /etc/modutils/alsa-base
# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF verion 1.0.5 ---
alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
options snd device_mode=0660
options snd-intel8x0 mpu_port=0x330 index=0 ## This is the MIDI port
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
It does sound like most of your problems are 64bit specific, the latest
release candidate of rosegarden4-1.0rc2 addresses some of these issues and is
currently available for testing.

No you can send to an external MIDI instrument so long as you have the MIDI
port enabled in your alsa config, this is usually not enabled by default.
Uhm, Instruments?
(just a thought ;-)
Rosegarden doesn't actually contain any instruments as such.
I figured as much...
If your version
is compiled with DSSI support, you will be able to use synth plugins. Else
you need to connect to a softsynth via JACK. I generally launch QJackCtl
and QSynth (fluidsynth gui) and then Rosegarden.
I have a real synth, do I need a softsynth? I trust you are
already familiar with these:

tml (there is a German translation too)
Those seem to describe if you don't have a real midi device. I do so I
figured it would work.
However I did just notice this in sndstat:
Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG
Midi devices:
0: ES1371
Maybe I need to fix something in kernel...
