Hey, cool! Most thanks to Luigi for his PnP code.
If you'll take a minute to write up just what you did (driver
versions/URLs, relevent kernel config file blurbs, FreeBSD version used,
kernel patches, etc.), I will put a link to this off the AWEDRV home page.
You may not "how _many_" SB32/AWE32/AWE64*PnP owners have posted to the
lists or mailed me in recent months about getting past the PnP problems (lots).
All would find your instructions _very_ helpful!
Have fun!
Randall
P.S. Now, in case you don't have some, you'll want some larger MIDI
soundfonts to stuff in your wavetable mem that'll make it sound even
better!
For some that'll fit in 1M, 2M, and 8M, respectively, check out:
http://www.lysator.liu.se/awe/
in particular:
http://www.edu.isy.liu.se/~d93jesno/sfindex.html
under the "Other" section. Having 2M of mem myself, I have this in
my /etc/rc.local to load the second one (guit_gm.sbk):
nice -20 sfxload -i -V 100 /opt/pkg/awedrv/lib/guit_gm.sbk &
so the wavetable is primed and ready for MIDIs :-)
P.S.S. Wanna a .tgz of a bunch of cool MIDI files?
