Well, i have done some experiment. If i try to run kmid as root from a 
terminal, i get the interface
but nothing else. just a few messages as follow:
    DCOPServer up and running.
Each time i click to play come:
   Player :: There are no midi ports !
And when i quit the program:
    FOO:/home/dom/Desktop # kdeinit: Fatal IO error: client killed
    kdeinit: sending SIGHUP to children.
    kdeinit: sending SIGTERM to children.
    kdeinit: Exit.
    Mutex destroy failure: Périphérique ou ressource occupé
    sh: dcopserver_shutdown: command not found

I have take a look with ls and i get
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            9 jun 21 23:07 /dev/dsp -> 
/dev/dsp0
crw-------    1 dom      users     14,   3 jun 21 23:07 /dev/dsp0
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           11 jun 21 23:07 /dev/audio -> 
/dev/audio0
crw-------    1 dom      users     14,   4 jun 21 23:07 /dev/audio0
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           10 jun 21 23:07 /dev/midi -> 
/dev/midi0
crw-------    1 dom      users     14,   2 jun 21 23:07 /dev/midi0

I'm very tired with this problem and i need my sleep. Have anyone a 
suggestion or a clue to what i must prove to do?
