The sound code has been the one thing causing me most headache.
The file test/soundbug.py
(from the tarball) show one of
several things regarding programming that I don't understand
(but know how to work around). So if you know how to program
/dev/sequencer
and /dev/music
and
have time to answer a few
questions, please let me know.
With release 0.7.28 it seems that everything works, both with
/dev/sequencer
, /dev/music
and using
external midi player programs, with one exception:
Since I want to get version 1.0 out pretty soon, I need to know how the sound work on your hardware. I have no access to other hardware running linux, so I cannot test on anything but AMD K6 running SB awe32.
If you are don't have /dev/music
or
/dev/sequencer2
, you can create with this command as root:
cd /dev mknod music u 14 8
