[19:50|pts/[EMAIL PROTECTED] % ls -al /dev/sequencer crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 1 Apr 8 04:20 /dev/sequencer
And the major number 14 is correctly owned by the sound module. From the esssolo1.c, it said it only supports /dev/midi. And on my system, it symbolic linked to /dev/midi0. And I could not figure out a way to ask playmidi to use /dev/midi rather than /dev/sequencer.
