I have been trying to make the MIDI work on my Soundblaster AWE64 under Redhat 5.1.
I have the AWE synth drivers from "Takashi Iwai (iwai@dragon.mm.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp)"
which looks promising, but the RedHat kernel seems to ship with some sound patch
which prevents these drivers from installing - the patch seems to remove some of the files
associated with low-level sound support.

Does anybody know what the RedHat patch is for?
Has anybody made this work?
Any other tips about the Soundblaster & MIDI?

Thanks

	Paul

Apparently Redhat 5.1 did some "enhancements" to the Sound drivers
and "Stuffed it up". My SB16 was healthy on Slackwaare3.2. Since I
install Redhat5.1 on my system, the Sound quality is horrible.
I downloaded the Linux OSS/Free software and re-compile, and my 
system sound gets back its quality.
