--- Comment #11 from Jogchum Reitsma <j.reit...@hccnet.nl> ---
Thanks for your (and Raymond's) quick responses!
Timidity is a daemon, started as a system service in the boot process. That's
why the process runs as root.
So if you mean to test the behavior when started as a normal user, that can be
done of course. Please let me know if that's what you mean.
But normal behavior is starting the daemon on boot, as root.
The extin and extout is asked by Raymond in comment #2.
There must be many soundblasters and other cards around with mixing
capabilities. I can hardly believe that I am the only one that uses that
functionality in Linux-land? To be more precise, mixing is not what is done
here: the timidity-daemon (used to play midi-files) lies "sleeping" till a
midi-file has to be played. It is - in my use case - never really mixed with
other sound sources. Still one would want to play a Youtube-movie, a CD or
something on disk, without stopping the timidity-daemon, and starting that anew
to play a midi-file.
But there must be many use cases that do really mixing sounds; otherwise
Soundblaster wouldn't bother to build it, I would say.
