A little addition is that you need the package "awesfx" installed, so as to be 
able to use sfxload (the OSS version), or asfxload (the Alsa version) to load 
the soundfonts. If you have the CDROM for the sblive, you should have the 
soundfonts on that. Mine for my Audigy2 soundblaster are 
in. /audio/common/SFBANK/CT4MGM.SF2.

Kmid is not perfect, but works most of the time.
