Thanks, will do.
While waiting for reply, I found this
http://tedfelix.com/linux/linux-midi.html and tried the script it
suggested, which seems to have allowed rosegarden to record... but pressing
the play button resulted in silence. I could see the notes on the screen,
but couldn't hear anything from my speakers.
While all this might seem easy to people who are experienced with the linux
sound subsystem, I do hope that someday we will have something that works
"out of the box" for audio creation, without editing configuration files,
opening 5 apps just to get the servers in place, and so forth.
