Yes Takashi - your patch works - even if I had to apply the changes manually because patch always gave me errors and I was not willing to go deeper into it because of 2 lines of code. As stated before - I'm not used to this all ;-) I did not have to do use the deprecated snd_card_new() method either... . Even MIDI out works as expected. I'm sorry that I was stupid enough to overwrite my changes, so I can not comprehend what I've done before. One last thing: > > Heh, you can teach your children driver programming :) > You would not wish that my 3 year old son is doing this stuff - hopefully even I am better than he;-) So Takashi, thank you very much for your help! Have a nice evening - or whatever time is in your place!
