A detailed explanation of linux midi and midi in general, which states 
that Voxware was replaced by OSS.  voxware was the old midi driver.  I 
have the SB16 midi module but have not insmodded it.  When I insmod it and 
try again to cmopile, I get a bunch of new errors instead such as
playmidi.c: -- invalid use of undefined type, undeclared..

and finally it exits with 'storage size of 'card_info' isn't know
Error 1.

It is still missing various files such as asm/ioctls.h and 
linux/awe_voice.h  and linux/soundcard.h, which I have.

Can anyone else compile this source code?  Maybe I have messed up my 
compiler again.  Or it could be this source code is just written to work 
with libc5 and not libc6 (1998).
