I still haven't got midi working with alsa. I chmodded /dev/sequencer
660, chown root.audio. KDE's kmidi works OK - that uses /dev/dsp (which I
also have to periodically chmod/chown as above). Now KMid has stopped
complaining about /dev/sequencer but is still silent. Its Options | Midi
Setup only offers MIDI 0-0 - External Midi Port, whereas it should show
the AWE internal midi option as it used to.
I tried
[04:56 peter@penguin:~]$ playmidi /win/e/Media/midi/Jazz/7steps2h.mid

playmidi: No playback device found.
I wanted to also try xplaymidi, but get "error in loading shared libraries:
libXaw.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
There are a few other apps that require libXaw.so.*, but I can't find it
