I anyone aware of ANY non-OSS tool to load soundfonts into an SBlive card ? If not, would anyone be interested in looking in to how to rewrite sfxload so it, at least, uses the native ALSA API ? Even with ALSA in the 2.6 kernel (yay, no more modules) and most apps now converted to ALSA/jack I am still stuck with this small but useful utility. I get around it by simply not using the the soundfont capability of my SBlive. Pity. --markc
