The MIDI support is only for the bus. These cards do not have a built-in wavetable synthesizer, and I don't believe ALSA has any capability of using their DLS interface. You'll either have to use timidity soft synthesizer, or you can map GM instruments into the built in OPL3 cell. The OPL3->MIDI doesn't sound that great in general though. -- Ryan Underwood, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
