You are correct, Sir. Your best option with that card and MusE are the

Unfortunately, that chipset is really not good for duplex operation, or even
overdubbing.
The problem is (at least on any one I've had any truck with) the sample rate
is off by 1 on the capture side. Playback is 44.1kHz. The net effect is your
program length will be off by about 2 seconds for every hour.
Hi Mark,
Your days as a moron are over!! ;-P

I forgot to specify that my soundcard is a

the modules for the Ensoniq 1371 are the best match.
There is no on-board wave-table, if I read the
documentation correctly.
I'm relatively new to the audio on Linux

and
admittedly don't have near the best equipment

anything serious, but I'd at least like to
hear
some
sounds of out of the synth and/or MIDI
sequencing
software on my Agnula distro. I don't have an
external keyboard, so I'm limited to writing the
score
with rosegarden or lilypond. I'd like to
edit the
MIDI sequences I produce with something like muse,
but
I can't figure out how to hear what changes I
make
*from within muse*. I don't have an on-board
sequencer (/dev/sequencer is never recognized or
accessible, which is no surprise, really) on my
card.
Ok, this might require some explaining.
/dev/sequencer is the sequencer interface for OSS.
MusE and Rosegarden do not
support this interface. If AGNULA has ALSA you
should instead have the alsa
sequencer interface. I think this should have been
loaded even if your
soundcard does not have any midi features (I could
be wrong about this
though).
