This is the heart of my challenge. The midisport 2x2 usb midi interface requires hotplug to upload firmware to it, which I am successfully doing. When I attach the midisport, hotplug detects it and does its' job, however, since I have a "partial-alsa" install, I don't think the system ever assigns a /dev/<devicename> filename alias to the hardware. I suppose the device is available to the system through IOCTLs or some type of low-level addressing, but I don't know how to: 1) find it; 2) talk to it. If I knew my way around lower-level linux hardware stuff, I could probably work around this and spit bytes out to the device, but I haven't been able to find info on how to accomplish this. Since installing alsa-base & alas-utils requires removing linux-sound-base, which hangs during uninstall, I'm stuck. > #!/usr/bin/perl > use warnings; > use strict; > use diagnostics; > use Fcntl; > require 'sys/soundcard.ph'; > > sysopen(SEQ_FH,'/dev/sequencer',O_WRONLY) or die $!;Thread Previous | Thread Next
