I think you want to use /dev/snd/seq for this kind of playback. For some reason, qsynth doesn't work with my system with the alsa drivers but does with the oss drivers.. to change the device in qsynth, use the same commandline arg as fluidsynth: I use: qsynth -o midi.oss.device=/dev/snd/midiC1D0 Date: Sat, 21 May 2005 18:49:31 -0700 > > I am trying to use qsynth to play midi files through jack.
