I'm trying to get my laptop set up for gigging so got a little USB audio device. It seems to be fine with PulseAudio and sounds much better than the built-in audio on the laptop.
I can set set pulseaudio to use the USB and problems like aplay and rhythmbox use it. No problem. But, timidity (from a command line) just continues to play though the internal card. I can bypass with a command: timidity file.mid -Ow -o - | aplay and this works okay. It might be a good solution since aplay always seems to select the "correct" port. Only problem is that I do get a message (I think from timidity) "Illegal Seek: Can't make valid header". Probably save to ignore. I'm looking for a selector in timidity to pick the audio port? Oh ... just figured it out. If I use -Oa it works just fine since this sends it to the alsa port. I'll post the message anyway just in case I forget or someone else is stuck. -- **** Listen to my CD at http://www.mellowood.ca/music/cedars **** Bob van der Poel ** Wynndel, British Columbia, CANADA ** EMAIL: b...@mellowood.ca WWW: http://www.mellowood.ca ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Timidity-talk mailing list Timidity-talk@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/timidity-talk
