Re: [TCLUG:5134] Midi doesn't work on 2.2 kernels

[Clay Fandre <cfandre@minn.net>]

Perhaps I should have been a little more specific. I am running RH 5.2
with all the latest updates. I playmidi on 3 different machines, all
with different soundcards. One of them is an original SB16. Here is the
output of /dev/sndstat from my machine here at work:

Mixers:

And the volume is turned up.

The playmidi command just exists immediately. I tried a few different
midi files too.
If I add the -a switch to xplaymidi it looks like it's playing
something, but no sound.
