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:
If you use /dev/sequencer
and don't have a awe32 soundcard,
it is possible that you get piano sound instead of the
percussion sounds.
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:
mknod /dev/music u 14 8
