Hi. Did you try compiling from source code?
I've compiled timidity from source code, 2.13.2, from the official(?) site. I've tested on Vine Linux 4.2. -- ./configure --enable-audio="oss,alsa" --enable-alsaseq make clean all -- and placed the binary to /usr/local/bin. This binary worked with your init.d script, with slight modification. 1) added HOME=/root for safety. o HOME environment seems to be referred from timidity/timidity.c. 2) optimized options for timidity o to use ALSA pcm device directly with 16-bit sample, linear encoding. (-Os1l option.) o optimization of buffering. (-B2,8 option.) o "-iA -B2,8 -Os1l -s 44100 -p 512" was good for me. 3) kick /usr/local/bin/timidity instead of /usr/bin/timidity. o Vine's timidity binary does not compiled with alsaseq. Kicking init.d script showed "128:0, 128:1, 128:2, and 128:3" are avaiable. "aplaymidi -p 128:0 midi/foo.midi" worked fine. BTW, >[jonat...@poseidon ~]$ sudo service timidity start >[jonat...@poseidon ~]$ file mcoputils.cc: line 499 (static std::string >Arts::MCOPUtils::mcopDirectory()): assertion failed: (home != 0) >HOME environment variable not set? >jack_client_new: deprecated Your timidity binary on Fedora seems trying to connect to JACK audio interface. Add -Os1l to connect to ALSA pcm device. -- wataru.em ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Timidity-talk mailing list Timidity-talk@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/timidity-talk
