I bet it does :) On the other hand i don't use midi for myself at all, i
just want the driver to have good support for it :) You too i guess. :-)

Oh, i didn't know that. On the other hand, this seems to be the only
problem with rat, the volume control for both playback and mic works. Oh,
yes, you can't have to rat's running at the same time either. It says
"bind: address already in use". But i'll guess that is a rat problem. Hmm,
on the rat's homepage they say they only support FreeBSD with the OSS.
Have you mailed them about porting rat btw?
How is it with vat? Is that supported? After some quick tests i can not
get it to crash and reboot my system as it did with the old driver. VERY
nice :-) But the volume controls don't work at all. :/

Well, i didn't recompile rplay, maybe that's the problem?
