Hi,
Currently before running a MIDI file I need to load manually the sound bank
into my sound card with sfxload.
Because sfxload requests /dev/sequencer, I load manually snd-seq-oss in order
to create it.
And then I can run:
$ sfxload /usr/share/sounds/sf2/8mbgmsfx.sf2
I just want to load automatically the sound bank into my sound card.
I will try to explain hereafter what my configuration is but I apologise for my
bad understanding of what my machine is doing.
I put a link in /etc/rc5.d to load /etc/init.d/alsasound when starting.
In /etc/modules.conf I have:
# ALSA specific settings
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
# OSS compatibility
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
# Options
options snd-emu10k1 snd_index=0 snd_id="SBLIVE" snd_enable=1
options snd snd_cards_limit=1 snd_device_mode=0666 snd_device_gid=17
snd_device_uid=0
# Misc
pre-remove snd /usr/sbin/alsactl store
post-install snd /usr/sbin/alsactl restore
post-install snd-seq /usr/bin/sfxload /usr/share/sounds/sf2/8mbgmsfx.sf2
/var/log/messages gives me an error each time like "/usr/bin/sfxload failed".
In /etc/devfsd.conf I have:
# Enable full compatibility mode for old device names
REGISTER .* MKOLDCOMPAT
UNREGISTER .* RMOLDCOMPAT
# Gives r/w permissions on sound devices
REGISTER ^sound/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 660
REGISTER ^snd/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 660
Before doing anything lsmod gives:
Module Size Used by Tainted: P
snd-seq-midi 3424 0 (unused)
snd-seq-midi-event 3160 0 [snd-seq-midi]
snd-seq 37228 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-seq-midi-event]

snd-emu10k1 snd-hwdep snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device
snd-ac97-codec snd-pcm snd-timer snd-util-mem]
soundcore 4068 2 [snd]
What is missing in my configuration ?
Why is it needed to load an OSS compatible module to load sound bank even when
I want to use ALSA driver and not OSS ?
Can I have some help please ?
