Hi LAU,
I recently discovered that the output/readable ports of VirMIDI don't
send any MIDI messages but the input/writable ports of VirMIDI still
work.
Here's an example setup:
MIDI keyboard -> VirMIDI 2-0
VirMIDI 2-0 -> synth
This doesn't work, whereas when starting csound4 listening to the input
port VirMIDI 2-0 (with "-M /dev/snd/midiC2D0") and only making the
MIDI keyboard -> VirMIDI 2-0
connection everything works fine.
I use Debian testing, with alsa version 1.0.8 and here's my modules
config for alsa:
,----
| alias char-major-116 snd
| alias char-major-14 soundcore
|
| options snd major=116 cards_limit=5
|
| # emu10k1
| alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
| alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
| alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
| alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
| alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
|
| # terratec aureon
| alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss
| alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss
| alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss
| options snd-usb-audio vid=0x0ccd index=1
|
| alias /dev/dsp* snd-pcm-oss
|
| alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
| alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio
| alias snd-card-2 snd-virmidi
| alias snd-card-3 snd-usb-audio
| alias snd-card-4 snd-usb-audio
|
| alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
| alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1
|
| post-install snd-emu10k1 modprobe snd-emu10k1-synth

Any ideas?
regards,
Sebastian

Please don't perpetuate this confusing terminology.
An readable port is an "input port" and a writable port is an "output
port". After all, you plug your guitar into the jack on the amp labeled
"input" and the speaker into the jack labeled "output".
Would anyone ever make a guitar amp that worked the other way round,
then try to explain to the user that from the perspective of inside the
amp, the guitar jack is "output" and the speaker jack "input"? Did
not
think so.

So you're saying that if I have, say, a JACK amplifier program with two
ports, one writable port where the sound goes in and one readable port
where the sound comes out, I should call the port where the sound goes
in "output" and the port where it comes out "input"?

Here's an example setup:

VirMIDI 2-0 -> synth
This doesn't work,
VirMIDI translates between sequencer ports and old rawmidi devices
(/dev/midi* or /dev/snd/rawmidi*).
If you want a simple MIDI through device, load snd-seq-dummy.

Ufff. You're right. This MIDI through device is exactly what I wanted.
Thank you,
