Hello: Wow, after several days and attempts to compile and install various versions of the drivers, alsa-drivers 0.9.0rc3 worked for me. (neither alsa-drivers 0.9.0rc2 or the 0.5.10b drivers would work for me. "Stable" is mis-leading to a newbie).
The mixer and audio, or pcm, and midi work for me. I can use aplay, sox, mpg123, xmms, alsamixer, aumix, jazz++, playmidi and I can play music CDs. I am very pleased.(I Haven't tested any recording tools yet.) ALSA OSS emulation works better than OSS itself did. For instance I was never able to access the fmsynth on my AWE64, now I can. Programs like jazz++ that never worked right on OSS now work using OSS emulation. I'm a convert, yes to ALSA. However I used to be able to use the following command to play my sbawe with my external midi keyboard: [pnb@rink jazz]$ cat /dev/midi00 > /dev/midi01 This simple command no longer works, I get: bash: /dev/midi01: No such device What commands should I use now to do this?
