Okay Julien ... looks like a replay of what we did a year or so ago.

I'm thinking I'm a complete idiot each time I try midish!

I just installed midish from Ubuntu. No midishrc file created in the

install, so I put the one in /usr/share/docs/midish into /etc.

Uncompressed it and add the dnew line from above.
And ... the test:
 bob$ midish

dnew: no such proc
So, let's take out the dnew from the /etc/midishrc file.
Now, it runs ... but no play.
 bob$ midish

import "bridge.mid"

p

press control-C to finish

^C
Okay, assuming the port isn't set. Perhaps...
 bob$ midish

devattach 0 "20:0" rw

import "bridge.mid"

p

20:0: No such file or directory

press control-C to finish
So, getting somewhere?
Now, we'll try smfplay:
bob$ smfplay -d 20:0 bridge.mid

20:0: No such file or directory

press control-C to finish

^C
Again, I have no idea

Oh yes, aplaymidi works just fine. Only it doesn't record :) And

arecordmidi is great too, but it doesn't play.
