On this fresh install of current/amd64, using the new audio/fluidsynth 1.1.6 (thank you sthen), I can only use it with sndiod _not_ running.
When sndiod runs, my MIDI keyboard still works fine, as tested with 'aucat -Mq rmidi/0 -o -' (suggested by the FAQ), but fluidsynth never seems to get any of the MIDI messages. The keyboard is a CME UF-6 connected by an M-Audio USB-to-MIDI, reports itself as umidi0 at uhub2 port 2 configuration 1 interface 1 "M-Audio USB Uno MIDI Interface" rev 1.00/1.25 addr 2 umidi0: (genuine USB-MIDI) umidi0: out=1, in=1 midi0 at umidi0: <USB MIDI I/F> ugen0 at uhub2 port 2 configuration 1 "M-Audio USB Uno MIDI Interface" rev 1.00/1.25 addr 2 and works OK in many other situations. If I shut sndiod down, fluidsynth works OK. Can some shed some light on why is that? Can this a problem of fluidsynth's sndio backend? (BTW, has anyone tried to push the sndio backend upstream?) Jan
