It seems to be running as root. Can you run it as your normal user instead? Hopefully timidity isn't hardcoded to use hw:0 or some similar alsa device, so that it can run on top of pulseaudio. > From the last comment from Raymond I understand that this habit of > pulseaudio to disregard the device if only one of the 32 subdevices is in > use, is undesirable. > > Am I right in that conclusion? PulseAudio doesn't support taking advantage of hardware mixing when it's available. There aren't very strong arguments for adding that support either, so such functionality isn't planned to be added. > I have yet to figure out what the extins and extouts from the device are. > Not sure if I can manage to do so this evening. FWIW, I don't know what extins and extouts are, and how they are relevant here.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
