Sorry, I left out a few details. I'm running SUSE 9.1 with ALSA
(alsactl says v1.0.3) and the 2.6 kernel. For this test I do not have
JACK running. I'm just trying to get the Audigy card to play a MIDI file.
If anyone can provide some insight, I'd appreciate it. Also, I imagine
this is the best forum for discussing problem with Linux Audio. Does
anyone have suggestions for other places where Linux audiophiles hang out?
