timidity is installed and works but I need true midi now.

Any idea why awesfx was removed from the Debian packages?

I found one on the web (awesfx_0.4.4-5_i386.deb). I found some SF2 files
(CT4MGM.SF2 CT8MGM.SF2) from my Windows machine with an SB Extigy. Will
they work? Somewhere I have the CDs from the SBLive card if I need them.

Can I mess up the SBLive card running sfxload?
