1999-05-21 Thread Roy-Anders Larsen
I'm running Debian 2.1 (slink) with some occasional packages from potato (recompiled from the sources). Is there any reason why the diald package has not been updated since 0.16.5 ? I don't know if it works better or anything, but I debianized the diald-0.99 tarball and installed it and now I'm

I have a Creative Labs Soundblaster 16 PnP, or model SB4171 (I believe it is referred to as model CT4171 by the user manual), and I cannot figure out how to make midi work. It works fine in DOS/WfW3.11 and WAV files work in linux. It seems to get detected fine with isapnp. My system is a 486DX33
