[PD] another MIDI question (newbie)

[CK]

I read:
> soundcard is a maestro 3.  when i start pd i get "error: failed to open
> MIDI ports; continuing without MIDI."  the error log shows A/D/A sync

what are the permissions for /dev/midi can the uid that pd is running
with access /dev/midi ??
what output do you get trying to do a 

home:~$ cat /dev/midi

or

home:~$ cat > /dev/midi


regards

x
