Title: Turtle Beach Santa Cruz and MIDI using ALSA0.9_RC8

Hi All,

        I'm new to the list so please be kind ;-).  I am a casual musician who is trying to break my grip on MIDI in windows.  I have a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz (CS4630 based) and am running a gentoo system.  I have compiled/emerged ALSA0.9_RC8 (alsa-driver, alsa-libs, alsa-oss, alsa-utils) from source.  I am trying to get the cards MIDI capabilities working.

I have followed the Gentoo ALSA help (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml) and have also used the official install guide (http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php3?company=Turtle+Beach&card=Santa+Cruz&chip=CS4630&module=cs46xx).

The problem I am having is that if I correctly follow the ALSA docs, I still can't get MIDI to work.  I installed/emerged pmidi and it says it can't find a sequencer.  Adding the option 'enable_midi="1"' did not work.  Restarting ALSA said that the option enable_midi="1" is not a valid option.

        If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks and good luck.


Craig Williamson.
