so i've got debian woody, linux 2.4.18-4 with alsa 0.5.12a-2, pmidi
1.4.1-2.1, timidity 2.10.4-2.2 and the following problem:
i can do
$ timidity -iA -B 2,8 -Os & pmidi -p 128:0 Cavatina.mid &
[1] 1487
[2] 1488
TiMidity starting in ALSA server mode
set SCHED_FIFO
Opening sequencer port: 128:0 128:1
$
and get sound from my speakers. but
$ timidity -iA -B 2,8 -Os & pmidi -p 72:0 Cavatina.mid & aconnect 72:0 128:0
[1] 1522
[2] 1523
TiMidity starting in ALSA server mode
set SCHED_FIFO
Opening sequencer port: 128:0 128:1
$
won't work (no sound at all). here's what /proc/asound/seq/clients
might look like during this:

am i doing something wrong here? shouldn't the playing get routed
through "Virtual Raw MIDI 1:0" to timidity? do i need to do something
extra here? here's some of my configs and possibly relevant
