I just downloaded and tried pmidi (Alsa midi player). pmidi works. playmidi -e still usually fails (it's worked intermittently a couple of times), and even fails right after running pmidi.
So my problem is probably in the OSS emulation. Oddly, this is the reverse of the problem I've had with regular sound, where play (OSS) works, but aplay (Alsa) doesn't (it adds a split second of repeated sound at the end). I hope someone out there can help fix my problems, because I know nothing about Alsa development myself. (Incidentally, does everyone else out there have working playmidi -e and aplay?) _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
