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

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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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!
It seems to work perfectly now. With or without options, or started from the gnome-menu. (I'm running iton FC7). Thanks.
