Clemens, you are so correct, it is almost frightening.

Thankyou once again.

 problem: get midi in/out (externally) of my sblive.

 pmidi -l shows that i have UART

 72:0 Rawmidi 1 - EMU10K1 MPU-401 (U EMU10K1 MPU-401 (UART)

 question: is this the game port?

Yes.

 i'd thought to use pmidi to send events to the UART port (72:0),
 like:

 pmidi -p72:0 somefile.mid

 and then monitor the corresponding device (/dev/snd/midiC1D0??)
 with gmidimon. but ... i've tried monitoring all of the possible
 devices, and gmidimon displays nothing.

The data you play with pmidi is sent to the output port. gmidimon
reads the data that arrives at the input port.

Either use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI Out and MIDI In connectors
of your gameport/MIDI cable, or connect pins 12 and 15 of the gameport
with a wire:

 8 1
