Hi Ben, I got the same thing from sndstat. OSS/Free didn't use sndstat. I'm waiting to hear from Joseph about his hack of s_linux.c before I contact OSS about this. I'll let you know when and if I hear anything from either of them. BTW, do you run JAZZ or some other sequencer? If so, could you test if MIDI in and out work on both of those? If you already have, please let me know.
Regards, Tim

Hello Tim,
sorry it took me so long to get to it but I did try tweaking the midiindev and midioutdev options. I get the same results as you either one or the other but never both.
Also I noticed that under /dev/sndstat there is one Midi device 0 nammed:
Midi devices: 0: AudioPCI97
Did OSS/Free report the same thing? (did OSS/Free even have sndstat?)
Hope that helps!
let me know what comes from OSS.

Ben,
I'll write them very soon. I have been investigating a few things that haven't panned out, so I am collecting information that I need to
contact
their Tech Support. I think the stuff you were talking about had to do
only
with wavetable synths, at least that's how I read it. I found nothing
about
external devices not working, but I may have missed somthing.
BTW, did you try doing what I talked about in my last e-mail? I'd be interested in knowing if you got the same result.
Best, Tim

Of course I'm just getting that stuff from memory. Take a look at the
OSS
install document. I guess Tim should email OSS and get the "official" answer.

Well, I guess that explains it. But I am curious about the
legitimacy
of
their claim that it is 100% compatible with OSS/Free (http://www.opensound.com/linux.html). I am still glad I got it.
The
audio
quality on my SB PCI 128 is greatly improved. Thanks for the
reply.

I'm using OSS/Commercial and I too only have MIDI In and no MIDI
out.
This is because OSS does not support MIDI out because most card
do
not
have hardware MIDI out. If MIDI out works with your card with
other
programs thats because the MIDI translation is done in software,
not
by the card. This is what I got from OSS/Commercial
documentation.
no sure about a fix, I only use MIDI in.
