Package: timidity
Version: 2.13.2-33.1
Severity: normal
Attached patch from fedora:
* Wed Jun 03 2009 Hans de Goede <hdego...@redhat.com> 2.13.2-19 - Don't crash
when started in daemon mode (with -iAD) (#501051)
fixes the pulse_new assert when using -iAD.
There is also the need for to add timidity user to pulse-rt group. This I am
not that easy to fix . Needs postinst changes.
Otherwise dreaded permission error is fired up when playing through timidity.
A workaround for the latter is to set the timidity user to the user playing
through timidity (one seat station only that is).
Best regards
Alban
