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)
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
Under "midi data" it gives me the choises
General midi Soundfont midi (Creative AWE32/AWE64) Yamaha XG midi
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?
Thanks.
