This bug is at least one year old and has not been fixed yet. It is something with sdl-mixer that makes it slow down when timidity is not installed.
A work around is to install the timidity package, another one is to create an empty /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg file. -- games using SDL are very slow and lose sound after a while https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/368905 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
