[Rosegarden-user] RG 11.02 DSSI issue

2011-02-28 Thread Al Thompson
I just built up a new FC14 x86_64 system, and installed RG 11.02, and the usual collection of synths, including Fluidsynth DSSI. I can select that as a synth plugin, but it tells me there are no controls that can be edited. Clicking the "edit" button does nothing. I can't even load soundfonts.

This isn't really a RG question, but I can't get subscribed to the Linux Audio list for some bizarre reason, and I figured surely someone here has run into this problem. I just recently installed Fedora 14 x86_64 (KDE) on a new laptop. I've got the CCRMA repos enabled, and have everything working
