[linux-audio-user] MuSE MIDI playback problem

Hi all, I've installed Alsa (latest) and the MuSE sequencer/composer (also latest). I load one of the example songs in MuSE and when I press the play button nothing happens, nothing moves on the screen and nothing plays. On the other hand, when I move the mouse cursor over the notes in the piano roll window I can hear the notes on the external MIDI synth, so I know MIDI works (at least in one way). But when I press play the cursor does not move. I thought this could have something to do with the kernel low latency option so I installed the patch (kernel 2.4.20), enabled some options as in the low latency HOWTO, recompiled, ran lilo, etc... But now the kernel won't boot. So, while I'm restoring the kernel to what it was before, has anyone had the same problem playing MIDI scores with MuSE on an external MIDI synth ? Any suggestions ? Sound card is Sound Blaster Live (emu10k1). Cheers, Alain
