I am trying to play a *.mid file. kdemultimedia3-midi does nothing. I installed pmidi, and got the following error message: No client/port specified. You must supply one with the -p option or with the environment variable ALSA_OUTPUT_PORTS I am running SuSE 8.2 on an ECS K7S5A motherboard with on-board sound. YaST thinks this is an SiS SI7012 card, but lsmod reports that the snd-intel8x0, snd-ac97-codec, snd-mpu401-uart, and snd-rawmidi modules are loaded. The motherboard manual refers to the AC'97 audio codec. There is a YaST "Sound card advanced options" dialog box that allows me to set joystick and MPU401 ports (again referencing the Intel i8x0)), but are these relevant? What am I doing wrong? Please do not be afraid of talking down to me about what "midi" is! Peter Taylor
