[ale] How to turn /dev/midi on?

[Jim Popovitch]

Next step:  ;-)

What's this show:

# ls -al /dev/* | grep audio      <-- if not audio try media or sound



# grep audio /etc/group    <-- is your user in that group? (substitute 
                             for "audio" if needed)

Finally, when you get the error about missing /dev/midi, does the last
few lines of "dmesg" show anything relevant?
