I have a soundcard: Something Soundblaster Pro 3.1 compatible And now: I want to hear some sound ... How can I do it? I installed playmidi, but whenever I try to use it, it says: pruess@pruess:~> playmidi demo0002.mid playmidi: No playback device set. Aborting. pruess@pruess:~> What the hell is a "playback device"? Is it /dev/sb0 or something else? And how can I tell playmidi to use this device? By EnvVar? And how can I test my soundcart if it works well? Thank you for your help ... Gunnar Pruessner
