ahoy all,

  lemme say that i have found various posts on the planet about getting 
midi working with an sblive pci...  its an fc3 setup with latest kernel 
and the following asound info:

$ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [Live           ]: EMU10K1 - Sound Blaster Live!
                     Sound Blaster Live! (rev.5, serial:0x80221102) at 
0x1440, irq 10

  i have been playing/recording pcm no problem with ardour, rosegarden, 
jack, xmms, etc..  however, ive been trying for a few days to get the 
midi working..  this includes simply playing a midi file...  the weird 
thing is i believe that midi is working: i can play a midi file using 
pmidi, or connect virtual keyoard to rosegarden via qjackctl and see the 
little red bar on the rosegarden track glow when i press a key in 
vkybrd, or use vkybrd to drive amSynth which shows the active voice 
count working... i think everything is ok, just no sound with midi: 
ever.  ive tried to load various soundfont files with sfxload (or let 
rosegarden do it on startup), but still no luck...

  i feel like im missing something very basic getting midi working on 
the sblive!  please, i would appreciate any help on solving this issue....

   thanks, wayne
