At the moment gstreamer-midi doesn't support sf2 files. I'm unsure whether there is work going on to enable that; or to allow it to talk to other synthesisers. I have my own ideas as to how synthesis should work (and work well), but I'm currently snowed under by schoolwork, so I'm not going to get people's hopes up. You may have noticed that in Hardy, you can just play midi files out of the box. They don't sound great (freepats), but it's a big improvement on previous versions. -- Timidity shouldn't depend on freepats https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196135 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
