Hi Paul:
A few questions first:
Did you run './snddevices' after installing the driver ? It
shouldn't be necessary anymore, but in case of problems run it anyway.
What kind of code are you using with Craig's library ? An example
would help me understand what you want to do.
Do you have a MIDI patch bay such as kaconnect or the ALSA MIDI
patch bay ? If so you can look at a graphic representation of your
card's MIDI ports.

This command will connect the input device at your hardware MIDI port to
the EMU10k1 synth:
aconnect 64:0 65:0
Try to see if it works on your system, then let me know.
Your question is really better suited for the Linux audio users group,
but feel free to email me directly. I also have the SBLive and can
hopefully help you through the trouble.
