Greetings;
I have installed an Audigy 2 value board which is
supposed to do midi according to the propaganda.
Kernel is 2.6.15, with all revelant audio as modules and
are modprobe.conf-iged in and showing in the lsmod
listing which is quite bulky so I won't post that list.
In kde's control center, under sound, the normal, .wav or
.ogg based effects work rather nicely, but the midi test
seems to be a total non performer.
You have to load a soundfont using "asfxload".
'cat'ing a .mid file to any of the 0-
devices is either a
no such device error, or returns silently in 1 second or
less.
That's not how ALSA MIDI works, you can't just cat a .mid
file to a device node. Use aplaymidi.

Speaking of aplaymidi, how do I pause a playback, back it up
or just stop it, once it's playing. man aplaymidi tells me
nothing.
