Sorry, I left out a few details. I'm running SUSE 9.1 with ALSA
(alsactl says v1.0.3) and the 2.6 kernel. For this test I do not have
JACK running. I'm just trying to get the Audigy card to play a MIDI file.
If anyone can provide some insight, I'd appreciate it. Also, I imagine
this is the best forum for discussing problem with Linux Audio. Does
anyone have suggestions for other places where Linux audiophiles hang out?

should work.

drew@linux:~> pmidi -p 65:0 LetItBe.mid
But it hangs right here. It looks like it might even be trying to
play something. But nothing comes out. No matter which port I try,
nothing comes out. And, yes the volume is up. On everything! But I
get absolutely no midi sound.
It seems to me that this is the simplest MIDI test I can do. Nothing
else is running. Shouldn't this be making some sound?
Thanks,
Drew
