[linux-audio-user] Playing MIDI

Hallo,

I want to play a MIDI-file with a "normal", internal soundcard.

The sound-howto seems to be outdated (7/2001). The midi-howto tells
something in "8.2 MIDI file players" so I installed pmidi but I get
the following:

til@email-addr-hidden:~ - pmidi -l
 Port Client name Port name
til@email-addr-hidden:~ -

Then I installed yiff which is now running on 14541/tcp and
fluidsynth and got 2 soundfonts:

fluidsynth -ni Fender2.sf2 /tmp/export.mid
fluidsynth: warning: Failed to pin the sample data to RAM; swapping
is possible.
fluidsynth: error: The "default" audio device is used by another
application
Failed to create the audio driver

I can play .wav with wavp.

Here is some module-info:

til@email-addr-hidden:~ - lsmod |egrep snd

snd_seq_midi 7712 0

soundcore 7648 1 snd
snd_page_alloc 8324 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm

I'm running Debian Sid on i386.

How can I play midi-files with my internal soundcard?

TIA
