This is a follow-up to my postings of a few weeks ago. I recently submitted the following as bug #629284:
After just a few minutes of using a program (Linux Pipe Organ, http://orgue.com/linux_organ/index-e.shtml) which reads from the external MIDI port, the ALSA mpu401 driver barfs: Oct 26 20:22:43 localhost kernel: ALSA ../../alsa-kernel/drivers/mpu401/mpu401_uart.c:168: cmd: 0xff failed at 0x330 (status = 0xff, data = 0xff) Oct 26 20:22:43 localhost kernel: ALSA ../../alsa-kernel/drivers/mpu401/mpu401_uart.c:168: cmd: 0x3f failed at 0x330 (status = 0xff, data = 0xff) The aforementioned program communicates heavily with another program (Timidity) over the ALSA sequencer interface, and I believe this may be related somehow to the problem, since in the absence of these programs I can read from the external MIDI port as long as I want. When the error occurs, the sequencer interface (and everything else) seems to continue working fine; only the external port can't be read from anymore. I'm using 0.9.0rc5, and here's my soundcard: 0 [card0 ]: SB AWE - Sound Blaster 16 Sound Blaster 16 at 0x220, irq 5, dma 1&5 Any help with how to proceed debugging this further would be greatly appreciated.
