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
Ctrl-Z
How do I restart it?
, back it up
You can't do that
I guess I can't forward either?
Elegant in it's simplicity.
, once
it's playing. man aplaymidi tells me nothing.
You need to get a sequencer if you want full featured MIDI
playback, aplaymidi is just a simple utility, a toy basically.

You mean to say that to play back a midi filed with pause, back
up or forward, I need to use a sequencer?
You're saying that there is no midi player in linux that allows
the simple controls of a tape player?
I'm running rh9/planet ccrma, I can't find a player there. I
figured that's because I'm a slowhead. Is there none?
Is there a midi file player for the 2.6 kernal, fc?? kernel?
If there's nothing, I'm starting to think linux is real weak
on midi playback.
By the way, could you comment on my recent question on tuning
a midi keyboard?
