Steve,
Let's concentrate on the machine that has the SB Audigy for now. One
small issue - the Alsa card support page doesn't actually list this 'SB
Audigy mp3+' card. I'm assuming they're all the same, but certainly not
sure...
Here are the 4 things I know to look at - /proc/asound/dev, modules.conf,
the first few lines of ardour.rc and what I see when I run ardour.
/proc/asound/dev and /dev/snd have identical entries.
My main question - what should go in the MIDI-port tag and device
sections of ardour.rc? And how does one figure this out?
Mark

I think they should appear in /proc/asound/dev on my macine its linked
to /dev/snd/
