Hi Fernando,
When I reboot the system, the message for udev states that audio is
being set up and followed by an OK. Later in the startup sequence, I get
a message stating that ALSA is already started and it displays next the
the ALSA Sequencer is started. When I log in, I checked the /dev
directory and i had
crw------- 1 nmetro root 14, 1 May 16 15:12 /dev/sequencer
After I start up Noteedit, then I have:
crw------- 1 nmetro root 14, 1 May 16 15:12 /dev/sequencer
crw-rw---- 1 root root 14, 8 May 16 15:25 /dev/sequencer2
The /etc/udev/devices has:
crw------- 1 nmetro root 14, 1 May 16 15:12 /dev/sequencer
I hope this helps.
Take care!
Nick
