Hi, I have the pcm driver in MYKERNEL, which comes without MIDI support.
There were rumors, that MIDI is supported now in 4.0 RELEASE, but I
havent found anything yet about it.
So I think about running the voxware driver. Seen in
/usr/src/sys/i386/isa/sound/Readme.cards,
that my rather old Yamaha card MIDI chip is supported. dmesg tells me:
pcm0: <Yamaha OPL-SAx> at port 0x240(etcpp.) irq 5 drq 0,1 on isa0
unknown0: <OPL3-SA3 Sound Board> at port 0x201 on isa0.
Seems that I first must boot Windows and look around if I can find
something about the IRQ which is used for MIDI there.
Then two questions:
(1) Named readme.cards tells me:
Enable the generic OPL2/OPL3 FM synthesizer support if your
card has a FM chip made by Yamaha. Don't enable it if your card
has a software (TRS) based FM emulator.
This is the MIDI chip. Well. But what do I use for the other chip,
that works so well with the pcm driver, in voxware land ?
(2) What is the prodecure of making MYKERNEL with this driver anyway.
I read somewhere that I have to do a "make config". Think thats the
place, where I have to enter the IRGs etc, make my choises. so
it goes like config, make config, make depend, make and make install ?
Has anybody ever used this Voxware thing ?
Not a big fan of MIDI sounds, but it might be usefull in preparing files
for midi2cs.

@4.0 RELEASE
