    Please,

    sarge, 2.6 kernel, alsa

    I can get sound from neither rosegarden4 (wow, _what_ a program,
    thanks a lot) nor kmid. I can play midi files fine using timidity.

    The midi settings for rosegarden4 look sensible to me. The details:

    My hours and hours of googling led me to believe that I needed to load
    a sound font. So I downloaded one and featured this line in my
    /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg file:

            soundfont /u/usr/joe/kawaisterogrand.sf2

    I then fired up, as root, timidity as a server:

            timidity -iA &

    lsmod | grep snd gives:

    confused and stuck.

    Thanks
