I have the same problem...except that
I can hear/play mp3s,wavs midis, thru xmms...
but when I try to go to a site that has midi music playing
I get a popup window saying CAN'T OPEN /DEV/SEQUENCER
then something about playmidi 2.4
I have Mandrake 7.2 with plugger installed, also have alsa
installed
when I try to chmod /dev/midi and /dev/mixer I get :
NO SUCH FILE/DIRECTORY
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING>>>any ideas
