this is a more specific version of my previous question about midi
thru. It looks like for some reason the midi in (front panel connector)
on my sb live doesn't work under linux (it works fine under windows so
it's not a hw/cable problem). The rx field in /proc/asound/card0/midi0
is always zero.
btw midi out works, the number of tx bytes increases and I can hear
the sound on external synth.
my system:
soundblaster live! platinum (using midi in and midi out on front
panel)
kernel 2.4.18
alsa 0.9.0rc1-2 (that's debian version, AFAIK it's the second
packaging of 0.9.0rc1)
