Description Henry So, Jr. 2002-11-25 23:23:31 UTC

The timidity++ ebuild (timidity++-2.10.0.ebuild) seems to comment out this line:

    #audios="oss"

Why is this done?  There seems no way (via USE or whatever) to switch this
feature on, which allows timidity to play directly to /dev/dsp.  If this setting
conflicts with something else (ALSA?) then maybe it should be governed by a USE
variable rather than being simply disabled.

I uncommented this line in my local portage directory and it seems to work just
fine.

The uncoment modification works with the ebuild r1 version too.

ok ... there is a an oss use flag.
so i will add that.
when the use flag is set.

then why is -r1 unstable and the other stable ?
there are only changes in the build process ?

jje ?

Commited ~x86 masked in -r2. Let me know if there are any issues. If not, we can move -r2 to stable.

Thanks
