Please, sarge, 2.6 kernel, alsa
I can get sound from neither rosegarden4 (wow, _what_ a program, thanks a lot) nor kmid. I can play midi files fine using timidity. The midi settings for rosegarden4 look sensible to me.

So I downloaded one and featured this line in my /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg file: soundfont /u/usr/joe/kawaisterogrand.sf2 I then fired up, as root, timidity as a server: timidity -iA & lsmod | grep snd gives: ############################################################## snd_ens1371 24932 3 snd_rawmidi 25124 1 snd_ens1371 snd_seq_device 8200 1 snd_rawmidi snd_pcm_oss 55080 0 snd_mixer_oss 20096 2 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 98728 3 snd_ens1371,snd_pcm_oss snd_page_alloc 11752 1 snd_pcm snd_timer 25732 1 snd_pcm snd_ac97_codec 69988 1 snd_ens1371 snd 57156 11 snd_ens1371,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_ac97_codec soundcore 10336 2 snd gameport 4704 1 snd_ens1371 #################################################################### confused and stuck.
