Here is what i understand, and i hope that somebody could help me fill in the gaps: 1. Some cards have some degree of midi support written for them. a quick grep thru /usr/src/sys/dev/sound indicates that the aureal, csa and vibes pci implentations and the ess, gus, and sb* isa implementations have the word 'midi' in them ( there's some exhaustive research! : -) ) GAP 1: Do any of these actually work? can you drive an external midi device with them? 2. The CMedia CMI8738 has a TODO MIDI note in it's driver. GAP 2: Is there further documentation? can i help? what needs doing? 3. The newmidi driver http://www.r.dl.itc.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~tanimura/freebsd-serialmidi/ GAP 3: Did this go anywhere? is there a more recent implementation? or is just something that works already and i should be using for all my midi needs? tnx for any help you can provide! -- John L.
