Mine will not work unless the above config lines are commented out and the following is substituted for them: device pcm0 at isa ? port ? tty irq 5 drq 1 flaggs 0x15 vector pcmintr When using a kernel built with this line in the kernel config file MIDI files sound like schmit. In my case it's either build the kernel with snd/sb0 devices configed and MIDI plays fine but the rvplayer won't work or build it with the pcm0 line and rvplayer works. but MIDI sounds bad. I haven't been able to get this straightened out so that all works well. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
