Dirk, You have missed the point here. I have WineAsio working. I don't have snd-virmidi working. The Virtual MIDI ports do not work in Wine regardless of whether I'm using wineasio or not. The Virtual MIDI ports provided by the snd-virmidi kernel driver are listed and work with Linux MIDI apps. They are listed BUT do not work with WINE MIDI apps. I don't know enough to say whether this is a bug, or a configuration issue. Thanks for looking into things though. It's great to know that someone 'out there' is trying javascript:emoticon(':)') Graham :)
