Laredo, AWE32 by Takashi Iwai This is free software with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. For details please see the file COPYING. open /dev/sequencer: No such file or directory I have googled around but haven't found anywhere a fix. There was some discussions on that topic which suggested to use the audigy as a possible workaround but installing the emu10kx port and using it as a kernel module doesn't fix the problem. This means the current state of the port is absolutely useless. I hope the port developer or the FreeBSD developers team would take a look at the problem and solve it. >How-To-Repeat: Install the playmidi port then try to run some midi file you'll surely get the error "open /dev/sequencer: No such file or directory" >Fix: None >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
