midi question

You would need to use the awesfx package (gone from Fedora 10) to load a soundfont file to your card first.

There is another forum post and a few redhat bugs related to this - someone decided aesfx was obsolete (it has no replacement...) and pulled the package.

This is the documentation on the tool you would be using:
http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Asfxload [1]
Once you have a soundfont loaded, your card's MIDI synth would work. You can get the soundfonts (*.sf2) from your driver CD, or from a windows install that had the drivers installed.

Newer soundblasters (since the Live! I think) have dropped actual synths in favor of these wavetable ones.
