Playing MIDI files

[Michael Abraham Shulman <shulman@caltech.edu>]

Hi,

When I try to play MIDI files with `playmidi', I get the message

open /dev/sequencer: No such device

However, `ls -l /dev/sequencer' produces

crw-rw----   1 root     audio           0 Mar 28 16:29 /dev/sequencer

so I don't understand what's wrong.  Can anyone enlighten me?

Thanks.
