In order to get MIDI going I upgraded to sid, updated kernel 2.4.19 to 2.4.24 and switched form the kernel sound driver to ALSA. Everything still works (xmms can play mp3 to ALSA output, for example), but still no MIDI sound.
lsmod shows all the modules as shown below. Playing a midi file goes through the motions (no errors) but no sound. I unmuted and turned up the volume on every device in alsamixer. Searching the web and Debian site uncovered that I may need to load "sound fonts" with sfxload, but it's not clear to me if this is still required or not. Also, the awesfx package no longer exists. What do I need to do next?
