Hi,

I am using Mandrake 7.2 (Power pack edition).

I now wish to play MIDI files. My sound card works, for example I can 
listen to CD's.

When I load kmid I get a message

[david@esther ~]$ kmid
KMid 2.0 Copyright (C) 1997,98,99,2000 Antonio Larrosa Jimenez. Malaga 
(Spain)
KMid comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details view file COPYING

under certain conditions
ERROR: Couldn't open /dev/sequencer to get some information

Yet /dev/sequencer exists

In kimid when I load a midi file and press play I get

"Couldn't open /dev/sequqncer
Probably where is another program using it."

If I use fuser - v /dev/sequencer  it gives no output so I assume that 
nothing is using it but that there is a configuration problem.

I have also tried using playmidi and I get this:

[david@esther ~]$ playmidi dl/music/openreyeslord.mid
Playmidi 2.4 Copyright (C) 1994-1997 Nathan I. Laredo, AWE32 by Takashi Iwai
This is free software with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
For details please see the file COPYING.
open /dev/sequencer: No such device


Is there something I have not installed that I need or do I need to 
configure something.

This is a bit of a pain as it means I might have to use Windows to play 
some midi files at Church tomorrow and I don't want to have to do that.

Thanks

Dave
