    Thanks to all who helped me get my destop box playing midi and
    converting it to wav. Now I have a new problem.

    Well, its pretty much the same problem, just on the laptop.

    I have installed snd, sox, and timidity on the laptop, which is an IBM
    ThinkPad 390, running Woody.

    When I try to play a wav with 'play sndfile' I get an error saying
    something to the effect of:

        Can not open /dev/dsp no such device.

    Well, /dev/dsp does exist with rw permissions for root, as owner, and
    audio, as group. I am in the audio group.

    I am guessing that this is a question of not having the correct modules
    loaded, especially since I see nothing in /etc/modules that looks like
    it would pertain to sound. Does anyone know what modules I would need
    on this machine. Or can someone tell me how to determine which modules
    I need.
