JACK has nothing to do with MIDI. It's a (very) low latency sound daemon. MIDI channels determine the number of hardware links the MIDI controller can establish. This has nothing do with playing back MIDI synthesized by the sound card.
Few to no applications strictly depend on JACK.

dholm,

Sure, you are right. But there is Audio software in Linux thats based on/or uses the Jack Sound server. One application seems to be Rosegarden for instance.

Yep. JACK support is optional though:
Code:

DEPEND="arts? ( || ( kde-base/kdemultimedia-arts kde-base/kdemultimedia ) )
        !arts? ( media-libs/alsa-lib
                jack? ( media-sound/jack-audio-connection-kit )
                >=media-libs/ladspa-sdk-1.0
                >=media-libs/ladspa-cmt-1.14 )"


JACK is useful if you are looking for a low latency solution, if not you might find it lacking in features in comparison with, for instance, arts.

Anyway, I don't really see low latency as the solution to the original problem statement in this thread.

dholm,

You are right again, as always ! Smile

But I did also look a little bit longer and more far, then just for the possibility to click on a link to a certain sound filetype in a browser and having it automatically being played in some media player.

This could for instance, when it comes to this particular MIDI filetype be made through the libmid (xmms-midi) plug in to xmms. However I could not make it work in a good way by now.

There seems to be solutions, as you can find out here for instance.

Link: http://www.xmms.org/plugins.php?details=42

As the Pegasos onboard audio chip doesn't seem to contain a synthesizer, this is probably the reason for no audio. This also as I when doing little more searching did find people around posting on this issue having laptops for instance with the same/similar sound chip and also mentioning the same problem.

So from this I for now make the conclusion that Ron is right in his thoughts and concerning Soundblaster.

But I will come back later again, when having more meet on the legs as to say, concerning this issue. Smile
