I was thinking of a Yamaha the "pcm" driver does not support midi (unless you use timidity) no matter which card you use. the old "voxware" driver has patches floating around for wavetable support on the AWExx cards (but don't ask me about these). the commercial "OSS" driver supports midi on a number of cards. Basing on your requirements i suggest that you go for OSS. or give up midi support and you can une the pcm driver with the Yamaha YMF715 or similar (OPL3 alone refers to the FM synthesizer). luigi > OPL3 based sound card, but I hear they aren't fully supported. > I know most of the latest SB-type sound cards aren't supported > very well since Creative Labs, in it's infinite wisdom, has > decided not to produce proper info on their new chipsets, so > I know a cheap little SB is also out of the question. > > Any ideas? > > TIA, > > Manu > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
