This seems a good link for you: Linux Audio Users Guide http://www.djcj.org/LAU/guide/index.php Unfortunately the midi link times out at the moment :( aconnect from Mandrakes alsa-utils rpm can list MIDI ports (input and output) and lets you make connections between them (like sending MIDI from an external keyboard to your SBLive wavetable synthesizer). You can use playmidi (there is a Mandrake rpm) to play MIDI to the external port with 'playmidi -e <something.wav>'. Both aconnect and playmidi have man pages. ALSA patch bay is a GUI for aconnect. Have fun! -Frans
