I emerged timitdity++ and timidity-eawpatches. eselected the latter, but still there's no midi playback:
| Code: | $ aplaymidi -l
Port Client name Port name
14:0 Midi Through Midi Through Port-0
$ aplaymidi -p 14:0 chicken.mid
|
...no sound. Help?

maybe you dont have sequence dev, did you add this options in kernel config?
| Code: |
CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y
CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=m
CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=m
CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS_PLUGINS=y
CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS=y
|
i get this output from aplaymidi
| Code: |
raihana~ # aplaymidi -l
Port Client name Port name
128:0 TiMidity TiMidity port 0
128:1 TiMidity TiMidity port 1
128:2 TiMidity TiMidity port 2
128:3 TiMidity TiMidity port 3

Why do I need to enable any of the OSS items? I do have CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=m though and I realized that snd-seq.ko is not modprobed. Did that, and it did not help.

If you kill the timidity server, and try this, does it make music?
| Code: | | $ timidity -inv music-file.midi |

Yes, snd-seq which comes from CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER absolutely needs snd-pcm-oss from SND_PCM_OSS in OSS items, it's dependencies.
it is my /etc/conf.d/timidity for reference
| Code: | | TIMIDITY_OPTS="-B2,8 -Os -EFreverb=0" |
start the daemon
| Code: | | raihana ~ # /etc/init.d/timidity start |

Yes, according to the help of SND_SEQUENCER, when it compiled as M, SND_SEQ_OSS will also be compiled and the object is snd-seq-oss...only that's not true. I have to explicitly select Y for the OSS sequencer...I thought usually when you select something in menuconfig, its dependencies are also selected. Somehow this is not the case here....

Thanks, some more things to try.

Not sure if this related, but on my machine to get the timidity init script to launch the daemon I had to change "timidity:nobody" after --chuid to "root:root".
start() {
ebegin "Starting TiMidity++ Virtual Midi Sequencer"
test -n "$TIMIDITY_PCM_NAME" && export TIMIDITY_PCM_NAME
start-stop-daemon --start --background --chuid root:root \
--make-pidfile --pidfile /var/run/timidity.pid \
--exec /usr/bin/timidity -- -iA ${TIMIDITY_OPTS}
eend $?
}
this is for timidity++-2.13.2-r6 |
