Luigi Rizzo: |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. Does this include /dev/sequencer too? I use this device all the time via drvmidi, xgmod, and some other apps on my AWE32 for playing MIDIs, MODs, 669s, etc. with AWE synth. Randallhome | help
