Hallo,

1) I didn't do any configuration of ALSA. Is that
needed? If so how do I
do it now that ALSA is compiled in?
I think, that ALSA normally still builds as modules. It depends on
your setup, but I would build modules. Then you just configure it like
old alsa, but I think the file locations have changed in 2.6, i.e. no
/etc/modules.conf anymore. It should be explained in modules.txt or
such in the Documentation folder. Sorry for this vague info, but I'm
still running a 2.4 kernel.
2) Where can I expect my devices to show up? For now I
have an onboard
soundcard (i810) and the Evolution keyboard. I would like to route the
incomming midi to csound, but later also to either Muse or Rosegarden4.
Is that a matter of having the softsynth or sequencer read from
/dev/midi00 (or somthing like that)? And do I simply tell the sound
generating software to direct its output to the appropriate device, say
/dev/audio?
Software that uses the ALSA sequencer (RG4, MusE) should need no
further tools, but for software, that uses raw-midi devices (Ardour,
Csound) you need a virmidi-device and route with aconnect. See the
Midi-Howto or the Softsynth-Sequencer-Quicktoot for that.
4) What would be a nice program use for figuring out
what midi-events
the knobs on the Evolution sends?
As mentioned, Pd does this. YOu don't even need to learn Pd: Just open
the "Test audio and midi" help file from the Pd menu.
ciao
