We've been playing around with the sound drivers for SB16 here, and had
limited success with "mp" as well, not that "playmidi" was too much better;
too many places it was assumed that the clock was 100Hz, as on most INTEL,
whereas ALPHA is 1024Hz. Most things played about 10 times faster than nroaml,
as one would expect... :-(
"Playmidi" is close to working now, but the developer is off at UniForum this
week; patches for the drivers have been sent to Hannu, but no idea when they
might show up in the kernel sources.
For further info, contact Rick Gorton, gorton@amt.tay1.dec.com.
BTW, "tracker" now works for us on the SB16; I think I had a config problem
that Rick finally caught. Have others had problems with "tracker"? I don't
use the version on RedHat, as I found that non-blocking keyboard input didn't
seem to be working so well, so I activated the "disable keyboard input"
patches in the sources, and have been happier ever since... :-)
