Timidity is a daemon, started as a system service in the boot process. That's why the process runs as root. So if you mean to test the behavior when started as a normal user, that can be done of course. Please let me know if that's what you mean. But normal behavior is starting the daemon on boot, as root. The extin and extout is asked by Raymond in <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=94165#c2">comment #2</a>. There must be many soundblasters and other cards around with mixing capabilities. I can hardly believe that I am the only one that uses that functionality in Linux-land? To be more precise, mixing is not what is done here: the timidity-daemon (used to play midi-files) lies "sleeping" till a midi-file has to be played. It is - in my use case - never really mixed with other sound sources. Still one would want to play a Youtube-movie, a CD or something on disk, without stopping the timidity-daemon, and starting that anew to play a midi-file. But there must be many use cases that do really mixing sounds; otherwise Soundblaster wouldn't bother to build it, I would say.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
