Problem in playing midi

[satimis 0]

Hi folks,

 

FedoraCore3

KDE desktop

 

I encounter problem in playing midi files, with no problem in playing musicCD.

 

# ls -l /dev/ | grep midi

crw-rw---- 1 root root 14, 30 Jun 13 10:56 admmidi1

crw-rw---- 1 root root 14, 29 Jun 13 10:56 amidi1

crw-rw---- 1 root root 14, 25 Jun 13 10:56 dmmidi1

 

/dev/midi missing

 

# chmod a+rw /dev/dsp /dev/mixer /dev/sequencer /dev/midi

chmod: cannot access `/dev/midi': No such file or directory

 

Kindly advise how to fix it.

 

TIA

 

B.R.

hmm.. i think the /dev/midi interface is a holdover from the days of the OSS

sound driver. perhaps you haven't enabled the oss compatibility part of ALSA?
