So > you can even use just aplaymidi -p Ensoniq Okay ... learn something new every day! I had no idea one could use a device name. But, it doesn't seem to work here :) First, the version of aplaymidi I have. bob$ aplaymidi -V aplaymidi version 1.0.23 And, I checked the man page and it does say one can use the device name. And the ports are: bob$ aplaymidi -l Port Client name Port name 14:0 Midi Through Midi Through Port-0 20:0 Ensoniq AudioPCI ES1371 But, it doesn't work as advertised: bob$ aplaymidi -p ES1271 test.mid Invalid port ES1271 - No such file or directory or bob$ aplaymidi -pEnsoniq test.mid Invalid port Ensoniq - No such file or directory However, it does appear that a full name does work: bob$ aplaymidi -p "Ensoniq AudioPCI" test.mid And export ALSA_OUTPUT_PORTS="Ensoniq AudioPCI" also seems to work. is something broken here since I can't use "Ensoniq" or "ES1271" ? -- **** 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/listinfo/linux-audio-user
