Hi,

I'm new to this list.  I'm just starting to experiment with JMF on
Linux, and I haven't found in any documentation whether external MIDI
devices are supported.  Is this the right place to ask about this?

I'm using the ALSA drivers with OSS emulation.  ALSA midi players work
fine, as do OSS midi players, but JMF does not appear to detect any
external MIDI devices.

Here's the output of a little program I wrote that prints out the
results of MidiSystem.getMidiDeviceInfo():

0: description=Software wavetable synthesizer and receiver, name=Java Sound 
Synthesizer, vendor=Sun Microsystems, version=Version 1.0
1: description=Software sequencer / synthesizer module, name=Java Sound Sequencer, 
vendor=Sun Microsystems, version=Version 1.0

This program detects all the right MIDI devices when I run it on
Windows.

If I play a MIDI file from jmstudio, it's played using the software
synth.

So my question is: does JMF for Linux support external MIDI devices
(or, more generally, non-software synth MIDI devices)?

If so, any tips on getting it to detect the device?  If not, I'll
probably write a driver for ALSA.

Thanks for any help!

Versions:
alsa-driver-0.5.11
j2sdk-1.3.0-FCS-linux-i386
jmf-for-java2-2.1.1-fcs-linux-i386
linux-2.4.4

Using ALSA's ymfpci driver.
