[PD] Need help with midi!

[Miller Puckette]

Hi all,

I assume Alfonso is running OSS.  OSS's emu-10K1 driver doesn't allow you
to "select" on incoming MIDI, so Pd sees no MIDI input.  The best
solution is probably to download Alsa 0.5.10 (www.alsa-project.org),
install it, and compile Pd to use it...

cheers
Miller
