Hello!
I am having difficulties setting up my sound FreeBSD 2.1 system to play 
MIDI files.  I *can* get it to play MOD/S3M types with Tracker and S3MOD, 
but I cannot get Playmidi to work.  It says Aborting: Playback device not 
set, or something like that.
Also, I am have a weird problem in X with my mouse it seem to jump all to 
a random place on the virtual desktop after every couple of seconds of 
mouse move ment.  The open terminal windows display this error:
Sep 18 11:29:55 morden /kernel: sio0: 151 more interrupt-level buffer 
overflows (total 151)
With Sep 18 11:29:55 morden being my current date/time/and kernel name 
respectively.  The "151" changes every time I get the error to others 
like 61 or some other moderatly low number and the "(total 151)" keeps 
adding up to the current total (i.e. 212).
Anyway, without being able to control my mouse reasonably, X is pretty 
much useless to me.
I'd **REALLY** appreciate any help on these problems.
Thanks a lot!
