I guess the card support is fine, just not embedded in a web page using 
Konqueror. SB Live even handles that statistically dense Mission_Impossible 
midi that comes with kde. My /dev directory shows this logged in as a user:

crw_______   1  mr6re9    root    14,    1 Aug 30  16:30    sequencer
crw_______   1  root          root    14,    8 Aug 30  16:30    sequencer2
Should it be crw_rw____? The error did say the device was busy, not that I 
didn't have permission to use it.

Konqueror will also not recognize Netscapes "plugger.so" in 
/usr/local/lib/netscape/plugins. I tried to manually ad this search path in 
Konquerors settings as a user and it disappears. There is a path listed
/usr/local/netscape/plugins, but that path is a kde default and does not 
exist.

1) Should I try to configure konqueror globally as root to search
	/usr/local/lib/netscape/plugins?
2) Move a copy or link plugger.so to /usr/local/netscape/plugins after making 
	the /netscape/plugins directories? 
3) Place and/or link "plugger.so" in any of the other 8 paths?

It is really not big trouble Jonathan. I just enjoy using kde, and would like 
it to perform well using native apps. Netscape handles embedded midi just 
fine, however there are no controls on the page. Konqueror on the other hand, 
displays the controls (kmidi) but plays no sound.

Thanks,
