My audio driver does not support /dev/midi and /dev/synth at the moment. There are stubs for them though, and one (/dev/midi) is probably trivial to implement. Things are slightly more complex for /dev/synth since there are different synthesis devices on different hardware. Besides, timidity probably does a nice job at least for the casual user. I am wondering if there is anyone who really needs /dev/midi and /dev/synth, and used them on the old sound driver. If you do, (Uncle Sam's finger pointed at you) speak up, telling which apps you use which do not work with the new audio driver, where I can find them, and how are you going to help in implementing these devices.
