Before I start, I should specify that this is my very first attempt at playing
MIDI on FreeBSD.

I've got an SBLive value, working fine on FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE. I can play MP3s,
WAVs and CDs without a hitch. When I try to play a MIDI file with playmidi, I
get this :

[dinjo@sunder 316 midi]$ playmidi -f mm2Metal.mid 
Playmidi 2.4 Copyright (C) 1994-1997 Nathan I. Laredo, AWE32 by Takashi Iwai
This is free software with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
For details please see the file COPYING.
open /dev/sequencer: Device not configured
[dinjo@sunder 317 midi]$ 

/dev/sequencer exists:
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     wheel          10 Jan 30 10:38 sequencer -> sequencer0
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     wheel     30,   1 Jan 30 10:38 sequencer0

Dmesg reports my card as follows:
pcm0: <Creative EMU10K1> port 0xdc00-0xdc1f irq 10 at device 18.0 on pci0

My kernel has *only* this line regarding sound:
device  pcm

When installing my kernel, I have done this:
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV snd0

When I built playmidi from ports, I chose option #5:
5. SB AWE32 Synth
(The other 4 choices didn't make sense to me).

Is there anything I am missing? I checked the archives for this mailing list,
and I couldn't find anything close to the problem I am experiencing. Simply
put, does the current PCM driver for FreeBSD support MIDI Playback?

Please CC back to me as I am not subscribed to this list.

THanks!
