[PD] No midi as root

[Allan Baker]

Hello all,

I am running pd on Debian with a 2.4.20 + preempt + lowlatency kernel and
the alsa drivers. I didn't add the capabilities patch because I hadn't
heard about it. I struggled compiling the kernel and am hesitant to go
through it again, as what I have is good enough for now.

My problem: When I run pd as root (to use -rt) I have no midi. Everything
works well when I run as a user. As root, everything works except for
midi. I assume that I have missed something simple. Any help will be
appreciated.

pmidi -l gives
 Port     Client name                       Port name
 64:0     External MIDI 0                   MIDI 0-0
 65:0     OPL3 FM synth                     OPL3 Port

and pmidi -p 64:0 foo.mid plays the keyboard.

TIA
Allan
