external midi on SB16
Has anyone had any luck connecting an external midi device (say, a tone generator) to the midi port on an SB16? I've got the card working ok, but I can't get any programs to send output to it. Sending anything to /dev/sequencer or /dev/sequencer2 results in the crappy SB FM midi synthesis, rather than in nice tones from my tone module Here's the output of cat /dev/sndstat, if it helps ...

Re: external midi on SB16
Hi Will, [..] You can direct the output to a external midi port with playmidi e.g. playmidi -e blues.mid this direct the output to the external midi device. Note: if You automatically `postinstall` the 'sfxload-command' this will not work. -- Peter Berlau [EMAIL PROTECTED]

playmidi -e blues.mid Doing this doesn't work. I just don't get any sound. Everything's plugged in, turned on, and works fine from windows. if You automatically `postinstall` the 'sfxload-command' this will not work. I installed the debian playmidi package. I don't think it asked me if I wanted to do this -- does it do it automatically?
