Thanks for your help, Marcus.
Of course i red all the related docu before and i set the permissions according to my needs. The problem was solved with sfxload -I <sndfont>. I didn't know that i have to do this every time (because of unloaded modules?) before i start TkAweMidi (which is actually drvmidi's X-Interface, right?). After using sfxload the error vanquished... I was in err to not use sfxload, because i thought that there is already some default-soundfont loaded.
