Can you play MIDI files with pmidi? You'll have to do some setup work before you hear any sound unless you have a hardware synth attached to the soundcard. This did help me to get MIDI working: http://houghi.org/user/ch19s09.html The article seems to change locations every now and then, I've had at least three locations go invalid over time. Searching for "ALSA and MIDI" on Google usually does the trick, the page title should be "19.9. ALSA and MIDI". If you're interested in better MIDI quality than most consumer soundcards can handle, I recommend you have a loot at timidity which can also be used as a synth for ALSA: http://timidity.sourceforge.net/ Sets of MIDI patches can be found all over the net. I use the Titanic Soundfont, but that's too big for most cards and needs quite some CPU power. There are smaller ones that can be loaded with sfxload, but don't expect too much (Creative usually ship an 8MB Soundfont on their driver discs). -- Got Backup?
