I was thinking of using this as part of the docs for the program stored on a local computer. My brain hadn't gone to the point of remote computers, etc. But, I suppose it all applies the same way ... if I've got a cgi script, then that implies I'm running a server.

I don't know if that is the issue or if it is a matter of setting up the file associations in my browser ... anyone have success on this? > > Perhaps in your CGI scripting you could have it "play" the MIDI to an > OGG or MP3 file and have THAT file play on the page? Yeah, that's simple enough to do. Then I need a player for the ogg/mp3. Oh I know ... I can use flash to play that :) Opps, cross threading :) > -- **** Listen to my CD at http://www.mellowood.ca/music/cedars **** Bob van der Poel ** Wynndel, British Columbia, CANADA ** EMAIL: bob@xxxxxxxxxxxx WWW: http://www.mellowood.ca _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
