FC 5 is now retired, can you see if you get the error/problem with FC6 or greater?

Comment 3 Hans de Goede 2007-08-17 13:39:11 UTC
Erm, why isn't this fixed yet? It should be trivially easy to fix. Then again
with the coming of pulseaudio to F-8, now might not be the best time to fix this.


Comment 4 Martin Tarenskeen 2007-09-16 20:58:42 UTC
I have seen this problem ever since I started with Fedora. Now I'm using Fedora
F7, and still the bug exists. BTW: I use timidity with the argument "-Os" and
then it works fine. The problem occurs when running timidity without specifying
the output device on the commandline. It still is a stupid bug though.
 

Comment 5 Martin Tarenskeen 2007-09-18 06:38:57 UTC
This problem seems to be caused by the TiMidity-2.13.0-detect.patch.
If this - not properly working - patch is removed from the SPEC file, bugs
#200699 and #288921 will be fixed. I have tested this.
 

Comment 6 Hans de Goede 2007-10-13 06:34:42 UTC
*** Bug 288921 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 7 Hans de Goede 2007-10-13 07:30:07 UTC
Hi all,

Nigel is no longer the timidity maintainer, Jindrich Novy and I are now
maintaing timidity, reassigning to me and looking into this as time permits.


Comment 8 Hans de Goede 2007-10-14 19:43:45 UTC
I've rewritten the which output to use patch, using the detection code which was
already there. timidity++-2.13.2-4 which includes the fix, should show up in
updates-testing soon. When it hits updates-testing our updates-system will add a
comment about this to this bug. Please let me know if this fixes things for you.


Comment 9 Fedora Update System 2007-10-15 21:31:25 UTC
timidity++-2.13.2-4.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 testing repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
 If you want to test the update, you can install it with 
 su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update timidity++'

You probably were to quick and your mirror wasn't synced tet, try again and
thanks for testing!


Comment 12 Martin Tarenskeen 2007-10-16 06:24:14 UTC
It seems to work perfectly now. With or without options, or started from the
gnome-menu. (I'm running iton FC7). Thanks.
