ALSA aconnect

Hi hitsware

> How can I list available modules ?

To see which modules are available on you machine, look under:
/usr/local/lib/modules/3.0.21-tinycore/kernel/
Or if you are just want to see what's available in an extension, you could, for example, open AppBrowser,
go to alsa-modules-3.0.21-tinycore.tcz, and click on the Files tab.

What's the whole command for finding the list ?
My modprobe worked before, but I started over
and now get files not found.
Are those (snd_seq et al) there to begin with,
or do the apps put them there on installation ?

[hitsware]

Alsa loads them. Now they're back (after installing Alsa)
But OSS doesn't ............ OSS doesn't need them ?
Maybe the modprobe isn't needed. It doesn't make sense
to have to do that. Alsa should do that itself if needed.

Hi hitsware
You should not be installing both Alsa and OSS.

Last I checked midi support under OSS was kind of work in progress...

I'm not. 2 differant sticks.

> Last I checked midi support under OSS was kind of work in progress...

...... The new version is 4.2xxx     The page is not succint on whether midi is
supported but from the detail given hints at it.

http://manuals.opensound.com/developer/MIDI.html

 Jack with OSS shows a sorta midimapper but claims I'm missing something
and won't hook up the midi. Sorta like the same thing Alsa does. I'm missing
something basic here and there seems not to be an abundance of documentation.

My last post was written in full awareness/knowledge of the page you link to...

Maybe you are still missing the implication of Reply #5 ??

You mean it might not work even they give instructions that imply it does ?

> Maybe you are still missing the implication of Reply #5 ??

I understand about the need for a synth. Is the implication it should be Timidity ?
Let me restate that I do get sound with both OSS and Alsa. Just can't get midi going.

Please post output of:

You need a space between "cat" and "/proc":
