I am using Mandrake 7.2 and have a SoundBlaster audio PCI64V, which
Mandrake's hardware detection picks up as a Ensonic ES1370 (AudioPCI).
As far as I can tell from the documentation should support midi.
Nevertheless, I get the following error report when I try to run
playmidi

    open /dev/sequencer: No such device

When I do ls -la /dev/sequencer I get

    crw-rw-rw-    1 turtle   audio     14,   1 Sep 27  2000 /dev/sequencer

so I would appear that /dev/sequencer is an existing device.  

Does anybody know how to solve this problem.

Thanks in advance

Peter
