It looks to me, so far as I can tell, that my sound card does support on-card midi playback. (I know for sure it does in Windows.) Also the output of lsmod seems to imply this as well: snd-seq-midi 5312 0 (autoclean) snd-emu10k1-synth 5788 0 (autoclean) snd-emux-synth 34524 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1-synth] snd-seq-midi-emul 7228 0 (autoclean) [snd-emux-synth] snd-seq-virmidi 5096 0 (autoclean) [snd-emux-synth] snd-seq-midi-event 6048 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-seq-virmidi snd-seq-oss] (the rest snipped) > so the easiest way to do this is to setup up some sort of inbetween from > the rosegarden to your sound card.

That's what I was trying to do with timidity--it says in the rosegarden docs that it works with timidity, just run "timidity -iA". Unfortunately that nets the same result--it looks as if it's playing, but it doesn't actually. Thanks for the help, ~ross -- This sentence would be seven words long if it were six words shorter. ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
