SoundBlaster 16 and midi
I have a Creative Labs Soundblaster 16 PnP, or model SB4171 (I believe it
is referred to as model CT4171 by the user manual), and I cannot figure
out how to make midi work.
It works fine in DOS/WfW3.11 and WAV files work in linux. It seems to get
detected fine with isapnp.
My system is a 486DX33 with 10 MB RAM, running Debian 2.0 (slink) with
kernel 2.2.2
I've tried kernel 2.0.36, 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 with different sound modules and
also with alsa, and I cannot figure it out.
This is what happens when i playmidi audio/moonligh.mid:

Does anyone have any experience with this type of soundcard/soundblaster ?
What is the AWE32 stuff all about ? Is this something I need to make MIDI
work on a SB16 PnP (Detected as Vibra16X PnP in DOS) ? What is the
softoss2.o module for ? Do I need it ? If I do, how should I load it ?
