On this fresh install of current/amd64,
using the new audio/fluidsynth 1.1.6 (thank you sthen),
I can only use it with sndiod _not_ running.
When sndiod runs, my MIDI keyboard still works fine,
as tested with 'aucat -Mq rmidi/0 -o -' (suggested by the FAQ),
but fluidsynth never seems to get any of the MIDI messages.
The keyboard is a CME UF-6 connected by an M-Audio USB-to-MIDI,
reports itself as
umidi0 at uhub2 port 2 configuration 1 interface 1 "M-Audio USB Uno MIDI
Interface" rev 1.00/1.25 addr 2
umidi0: (genuine USB-MIDI)
umidi0: out=1, in=1
midi0 at umidi0: <USB MIDI I/F>
ugen0 at uhub2 port 2 configuration 1 "M-Audio USB Uno MIDI Interface" rev
1.00/1.25 addr 2
and works OK in many other situations.
If I shut sndiod down, fluidsynth works OK.
Can some shed some light on why is that?
Can this a problem of fluidsynth's sndio backend?
(BTW, has anyone tried to push the sndio backend upstream?)
