Daniel, If I recall correctly, I have seen a message saying that doing a cat on any of the "devs" will not work. Doing the same on the emulated OSS devices is supported though. I was induced into the same error because of the mini-HOWTO I think this appeared on the developer's list.
BTW, this list doesn't seem to have too much traffic, does it?

snd-ens1371 driver on a gentoo box with out problems.
But after moving the card over into a slackware box, i cant seem to get it working.
The wierdest thing though, is that modprobe snd-ens1371 SEEMS to work. Meaning:
1. lsmod shows ALL the nice alsa modules is loaded.
2. /proc/asound is created, and looks fine..
3. /dev/snd is created, and looks fine.. (though, it looks like the permissions are not the permissions ive setup in devfsd.conf)
But, if i try to access(cat files to them) my MIDI device(/dev/snd/midiC0D0), i get a input/output error.
Can anybody tell me what could cause this?
