ALSA MIDI/sequencer tutorial http://www.djcj.org/LAU/webcount/link.php?id=midisynth_howto&url=http://linux-sound.org/quick-toots/4-sequencers_and_softsynths/quick-toot-midisynth_howto.html English, [http://www.salleurl.edu/~is04069/Modders/Docs/alsadoc-sequencer.html Spanish]

The ALSA utils are a collection of small and often extremely powerful
applications designed to allow users to control the various parts of
the ALSA system. The <tt>alsactl</tt> app is a way to save settings for
your device. The <tt>amixer</tt> app is a command line app which allows
adjustments to be made to a devices volume and sound controls.
The <tt>alsamixer</tt> app is an ncurses version of <tt>amixer</tt>.
The <tt>acconnect</tt> and <tt>aseqview</tt> apps are for making MIDI
connections and viewing the list of connected ports. The <tt>aplay/arecord</tt>
apps are for commandline playback and recording of a number of file types
including raw, wave and aiff at all the sample rates, bitdepths and channel
counts known to the ALSA library.

There are a number of apps in the ALSA tools package. They range from
<tt>envy24control</tt> which provides complete control over all devices
with an envy24 chip, to firmware loaders for pcmcia, USB and the hdsp devices.
There is also the <tt>hdspmixer</tt> app which is a carbon copy of
the totalmix app for windows and mac platforms. To use them you need to
build and install them seperately. Make sure you read the README and INSTALL
files for usage instructions.
