RE: MIDI on SB Live! ?

I downloaded the emu10kx module, compiled, and ran it, but didn't see
anything that indicated MIDI input. It might very well be, however, my
"system": I have a SoundBlaster Live! PCI card AND something-or-other
onboard AC97, but FBSD-4.8 and FBSD-5.1-BETA can't "see" the motherboard
AC97 device.

While I have the "official" Creative Labs MIDI to DB15 cable, there is
also a possibility that IT is not working properly. I DID verify that the
MIDI output port was "live": I removed the MIDI cable from it to one MIDI
keyboard that was in MIDI playback mode, and working, and inserted the
Creative Labs MIDI cable, but nothing else appeared on the console.

Below is what appeared on the console, but I am sure that you have already
seen this:

 emu10kx0: <Creative EMU10K1> port 0xcc00-0xcc1f irq 5 at de
 vice 7.0 on pci0

 EMU_ENATIMER: sc=0xc6a8e800, go=0)

The following is the PCICONF output for my 5.1-BETA (MSI "655 Max"
motherboard):

> I've started coding MIDI I/O for SBLive!/Audigy, but can't continue due to lack of MIDI equipment.  Can you try my _unstable_ drivers from http://chibis.persons.gfk.ru/audigy ? You should compile MIDI in kernel (add "device midi" to your config file) and compile my drivers OUTSIDE kernel tree (unpack tar file and run "make", don't do "make install"!). Please also mount everything r/o before loading driver. Are there any messages on console after sending MIDI events from your keyboard?
