Done. TiMidity++-2.12.0beta as alsa sequencer client requires no modification to wine at all, and the OSS emulation of ALSA makes the thing transparent to WINE.
Can you, or someone, please let me know how to set up wine to use this? I'm running Debian Linux; these are the versions of timidity and wine that I have:
ii timidity 2.11.2-1.3 Software-only MIDI sequencer. ii wine 0.0.20021125-1 Windows Emulator (Binary Emulator)
This is something I would not mind knowing myself. It's not too high a priority for me though as I have SoundFonts working on my SBLive now.
For sound, I'm using artsdsp 0.6.1 to emulate esd. I have a Soundblaster live card.
On the FF7 config program, it gives me the choices
Wine OSS midi out (#0) - disabled EMU10K1 midi
This looks like what I would get from the OSS driver - emu10k1. The module name for the ALSA driver is snd-emu10k1. The choices I would expect from ALSA's OSS emulation would be something like: Emu10k1 MIDI 0-0 Emu10k1 Port 0 Emu10k1 Port 1 Emu10k1 Port 2 Emu10k1 Port 3
Under "midi data" it gives me the choises
General midi Soundfont midi (Creative AWE32/AWE64) Yamaha XG midi
I would imagine this should stay on General midi unless you are *sure* it needs to be on another selection.
No matter what I try, in whatever combination, I get "Error opening device" and the wine console says
fixme:winmm:MIDI_StreamOpen *lpuDeviceID=1 fixme:dsound:IDirectSoundImpl_SetCooperativeLevel (0x403ab930,0001003c,3):stub
Can someone help me out--or point me at somewhere else I can find help?
Try running it like this ... wine -debugmsg +winmm,+midi,+msacm program_name.exe ... and send the output.
