I think, that ALSA normally still builds as modules. It depends on your setup, but I would build modules. Then you just configure it like old alsa, but I think the file locations have changed in 2.6, i.e. no /etc/modules.conf anymore. It should be explained in modules.txt or such in the Documentation folder. Sorry for this vague info, but I'm still running a 2.4 kernel. > 2) Where can I expect my devices to show up?

Software that uses the ALSA sequencer (RG4, MusE) should need no further tools, but for software, that uses raw-midi devices (Ardour, Csound) you need a virmidi-device and route with aconnect. See the Midi-Howto or the Softsynth-Sequencer-Quicktoot for that. > 4) What would be a nice program use for figuring out what midi-events > the knobs on the Evolution sends? As mentioned, Pd does this. YOu don't even need to learn Pd: Just open the "Test audio and midi" help file from the Pd menu. ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
