I would like to try again to get some help with UMP in Netscape. I have UMP installed, and it shows up in both my applications and plugins. Whenever I try to connect to a location with MIDI music, I usually get the UMP panel, but I get the message "Cannot open LINUX dsp device", usually repeated three times. To get my sound card working, I had to download the Open Sound Systems driver. Things like the KDE CD player works fine. Also, I can download and play MIDI files by executing the command: timidity -id -c gravis.cfg -L /usr/lib/gravis-patches <midifile.mid> however, unless I do this as superuser, I get the message: /dev/dsp: Permission denied Couldn't open Linux dsp device (`d') If I log in as root, and go to a MIDI site from Netscape, I get the little UMP panel, and on the first try, I get no error message, but no sound either. In my Preferences/Navigator/Applications, for both audio/midi and audio/x-midi, I have plugin: UNIX MIDI plugin. Under Help/About Plugins, for both midi and x-midi, I have Larry Hoff's UMP plugin version 1.10 which is enabled. The timidity configuration files are in the directory /usr/local/lib/timidity and are set for every to be able to read them (and execute the executable). Can anyone suggest anything else I can do to get this working? -- Murray Strome 1275 Burnside Road West VICTORIA BC V8Z 1P3 Canada Phone: (250) 479-6448 Fax: (250) 727-3427
