Hello LAU people!
I'd really love to get this virmidi thing working --- I've been wanting to
get ttrk to control my csound instuments for ages. Unfortunately I get some
errors when following these intstructions:

I added this to my /etc/modules.conf (is this the correct thing to do?), but
I get the following messages when booting:
<notice>/etc/init.d/rc5.d/S21alsasound start
Starting sound driver: ens1371
virmidi/lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/misc/snd-card-virmidi.o: init_module: No such
device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including
invalid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/misc/snd-card-virmidi.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/misc/snd-card-virmidi.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/misc/snd-card-virmidi.o: insmod snd-card-virmidi
failed

Failed services in runlevel 5: alsasound
... and aconnect obviously doesn't show any virmidi ports. I'm using SuSE
linux 7.3, newishly installed on a nice clean hard-drive, with a Soundblaster
128 PCI.
P.S. does anyone have any idea what's going on here:
