More than two years ago, I had an issue with MIDI support in wine, see
the following thread:
http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=37671
The solution was to install the wine-alsa package which hadn't been
installed in Fedora by default.
Now, trying to make MIDI work, again I cant' find any MIDI device,
neither hardware nor software based. Neither winecfg nor various
apllications (Band in a Box, editors for MIDI hardware) show any MIDI port.
MIDI works flawlessly in Fedora 17 (64bit, but only 32bit wine packages
are installed); aconnect -o shows:
Client 14: 'Midi Through' [Typ=Kernel]
0 'Midi Through Port-0'
Client 16: 'TerraTec DMX6Fire' [Typ=Kernel]
0 'MIDI-Front DMX6fire 0'
32 'Wavetable DMX6fire 0'
Client 128: 'FLUID Synth (2957)' [Typ=User]
0 'Synth input port (2957:0)'
Unlike my former issue, wine-alsa (32bit) is present now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just found that removing the notorious wine-pulseaudio package from Fedora cured my issue. Now I have all my MIDI ports in Band in a Box. Sorry for the noise, I should file a bug in Fedora's Bugzilla Klaus Am 04.10.2012 14:11, schrieb Klaus-Peter Schrage:> More than two years ago, I had an issue with MIDI support in wine, see > the following thread: > http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=37671 > The solution was to install the wine-alsa package which hadn't been > installed in Fedora by default. > > Now, trying to make MIDI work, again I cant' find any MIDI device, > neither hardware nor software based.

Of course it would also help if they kept their packages up to date, when looking at their git tree http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/wine.git/tree/ I noticed that they used a very old version of my winepulse patch. :( Hope it can be fixed.. ~Maarten
