I can't get these new "EDIROL FA-101

anything.
Do they show up in the output of "amidi -l" and "arecordmidi -l"?
Do you see anything with "amidi --dump" or "aseqdump"?
Does creating connections with aconnect work? If not, any error
messages?
$ amidi -l
Dir Device Name
IO hw:0,0,0 EDIROL FA-101 MIDI 1
IO hw:2,0,0 Oxygen 49 MIDI 1
$ arecordmidi -l
Port Client name Port name
14:0 Midi Through Midi Through Port-0
16:0 EDIROL FA-101 EDIROL FA-101 MIDI 1
24:0 Oxygen 49 Oxygen 49 MIDI 1
This one gives some sort of error -
$ amidi --dump
ALSA lib rawmidi_hw.c:233:(snd_rawmidi_hw_open) open /dev/snd/midiC0D0 failed: Device or
resource busy
cannot open port "default": Device or resource busy
This one hangs at this point -
$ aseqdump
Waiting for data at port 130:0. Press Ctrl+C to end.
Source Event Ch Data
0:1 Port subscribed 129:0 -> 130:0
And this error comes up when attempting to aconnect -
$ aconnect 24 16
Connection failed (Device or resource busy)
So I think we're found the problem. The port definitely isn't busy - how do I stop
it being so lazy?
Much appreciated, Oliver
