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.
