Thanks.
Hi Georgi. Perhaps it's not obvious, but only cards using the EMU driver, like your's and my Audigy2 are supported by Alsa for using sfxload to load soundfonts. I was trying to help someone a couple of days ago to load soundfonts onto a Vivanco 6C PCI card that has a wavetable synth, and had this pointed out to me by Lee. You're only alternative is to use Timidity, or load soundfonts into Qsynth, the front end to Fluidsynth, and use that. It's a pity that Kmidi has been discontinued. It worked fine using Timidity. It was included with FC1 with the 2.4 kernel, and I wonder if there was some problem with the 2.6 kernel, and that's why it has been dropped. Personally I cannot stand Kmid, as it seems to regularly crash, and has just done so again after closing it after looking at the settings. Sorry I can't be more positive.
