The lxdoom background music sounds ok. Not too fast, no uneven beat. Maybe playmidi is using a slighly different interface or running into one of the not-so-good-defined features of OSS? > > I have a trusty old ISA "SB16 value" card, which for some reason only works > > with the OSS driver, modules "sb" and "opl3" (the ALSA driver doesn't > > detect the hardware, shame on the developers/testers!). > > Well, if you know what I/O ports, interrupts and DMA channels are being used > for the card, you can always modprobe snd_sb16 and friends with the > appropriate parameters. Presumably, you're familiar with isapnp... sb irq=5 io=0x220 mpu_io=0x330 dma=1 dma16=5 opl3 io=0x388 works in /etc/modules, snd-sb16 irq=5 port=0x220 mpu_port=0x330 dma8=1 dma16=5 isapnp=0 doesn't work, I had tested various settings of isapnp and the other parameters before grumpily settling for OSS. A second card in another machine with irq 7 and 2.4 alsa modules doesn't work as well. > FWIW, the kernel developers are planning to remove those OSS drivers which > have adequate ALSA replacements.

The driver is part of the kernel, so do I file a bug against linux-image-2.6.12-286-1 in the BTS? This looks like the debian way. Or do I have to get an account on https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/ just for filing this bug??? Hmm, you can't answer this, I suppose, just thinking in public..
