The kmidi aplication plays midi files fine. But one "midi and karaoke player" refuse to work telling -cant open the /dev/secuencer file, maybe its used by other appl- By the way, im current running a pIII with mandrake 8.0, and a soundblaster live!value. Linux seem to use some kind of emulator to handle it, called EMU1000, and a kernel module named snd-card-emu10k1. The thing that maibe is bothering is that when i go to the KDE-sound-midi configuration, it ask what device i'd like to use, but don't show any. please help and thanks for the ocupation

Hi Nano,
Do you have any other MIDI apps to try it out on? Also, are you sure you aren't either talking to some evil soundcard synthesizer ("virtual MIDI") or to a motherboard joystick port instead of your soundcard's MIDI output?

You can play midi files in different ways:
- with an external midi synth connected to your soundcard external midi port
- with an internal midi synth, some soundcards have one
- with an software midi synth, like kmidi
EMU10k1 is the chipset on SB Live, it's also an internal midi synth. snd-card-emu10k1 is a module for SbLive. I think you got Alsa drivers installed. If so, you'll get something like this in your /proc/asound/dev directory : controlC0 hwC0D0 controlC1 midiC0D0 controlC2 midiC0D1 midiC0D2 midi C0D3
Let me know what is in this directory. Since I wanted to use my Soundblaster AWE64 internal synth, I know how to deal with that stuff and Alsa and Pd now.

Midi in doesn't work with emu10k1 (SBLive), and MIDI output requires the the sequencer option is enabled when the module is compiled (or experimental is enabled if you use the kernel driver from 2.4.8 or later).
To get MIDI running properly you'll need ALSA (for the time being, at least..)

Forgot to mention: I assume that you are using the opensource drivers from http://opensource.creative.com or the one included with the kernel (above 2.4.8)
Midi in doesn't work with emu10k1 (SBLive), and MIDI output requires the the sequencer option is enabled when the module is compiled (or experimental is enabled if you use the kernel driver from 2.4.8 or later).
