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.
