Sorry, I should have done a bit more testing. I've just verified this: pmidi data IS echoed, so long as someone is listening. The /proc/asound/card1/midiD0 statistics don't update received bytes if no one is listening. So it looks like I have *another* bad cable. This one lets me send MIDI data, but not receive :( Moral of the story: don't waste time with cheap cables. I'll get one with proper electronics (I don't know what "opto-coupling/isolation" is but it suddenly looks very important). ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
