Sorry, I should have done a bit more testing.
More info on this.
As per Clemens, I got a new cable, and now my
system is 50% working. I can send external MIDI
events out, and drive my MIDI gear from my Linux
box.
But I still can't receive any external MIDI events.
And the behavior is strange:
If I directly connect pins 12 and 15 of my gam

High-level questions:
1) Is there a good debugging guide? I'm guessing
that ALSA experts have a checklist, like
- check kernel config
- check alsa build config
- check /etc/modules.conf
- check lsmod
- etc.
2) I just tried the Creative L

Does it work in another operating system?

as? I would dearly love to get external MIDI
working for this soundcard. Any and all suggestions
or diagnostics would be appreciated!

Audio out on the card is fine, and timidity is
able to play. What I really need to do is read

problems with that.
I can open /dev/midi for reading, but read calls
hang indefinitely, even though I've got MIDI
devices sending events to the card.
