Thank you, I'm happy to hear this. As I already said, I will include this in
my HOWTO.

Please, could you also try the following:
sfxload -b1 <your-path>/sample.sbk
drvmidi <your-path>/sfx.midi
If you don't have those files, I would be happy to mail them to you (and I
hope I would not violate any copyrights :( ). It is important for me,
because it didn't worked for me the day before, but now after recompiling
with awedrv 0.4.2c it works. (sfx.midi uses some samples in bank 1)
Oh, there is another example like this coming with vienna:
sfxload -b1 voiperpn.sf2
drvmidi zebraper.mid
(you shouldn't hear any piano with this, but I do....)
Please try those, I have problems with them, they don't play correctly.

i don't know. This is a bug, I think. What versions of the awedrv do you
have? Did you tried the latest version 0.4.2c?
thank you for your effort, and keep going, we nearly made it!
