Hi Fernando

Where do you find the energy to answer all these queries? Thanks for
your response!

I've tried just basic things

Gnome CD player
alsaplay (aplay? - I'm not at home so not on the computer in question)
xmms (wave and mp3)

not sure what to use for midi so tried Rosegarden but first things
first

google  does throw up quite a few errors like
>> Starting sequencer driver snd-seq-midi                     [  OK  ]
>> Restoring sound driver settings /usr/sbin/alsactl: load_state:1272: No
>> soundcards found...
>>                                                            [FAILED]
but there seem to be few consistent answers

Thanks again

Cheers
Peter
