Hi! You could try this to find out if you have permission to use /dev/snd/midiC0D1 (or whatever midi device is appropriate for you): tty # groups Shoudl show you, which groups your user is in. Then do: ls -l /dev/snd/midiC0D1 May result in something like: crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 8 2009-05-12 23:39 /dev/snd/midiC0D1 You can see the user (root) and the group (audio)_ have permission to read/write. So if you're in group audio - in my example - all is well. That doesn't solve the problem of audio output. I guess you'd have to stop JACK or get a kernel module called FUSd or something like it. It can direct your OSS output (beatrix) to JACKD. I tried to compile it once, but wasn't lucky. However that means nothing or anything. :-) Good luck!
