[LAU] no midi with 2.6.26 or 2.6.27

Greetings, Ever since I updated my system to Fedora 8, I haven't been able to use my external MIDI keyboard or the wavetable on my sblive card via aplaymidi. aplaymidi will usually play the first note of a song, and nothing more. Kmid does exactly the same thing. yet the 'aplay' command seems able to read and write to the MIDI port. I am running 2.6.26.8-57.fc8, and I've also tried 2.6.27.13 both have the same issue. The correct drivers do exist. I haven't noticed any errors in the logs. I'm hoping to finally get this resolved, and I can send whatever info is needed. Thanks, Anthony Smolar
