Description Fabio Bonfante 2015-07-28 19:35:35 UTC

Created attachment 407820 [details, diff]
Adapted patch for gentoo

timidity can't use jack devices (using the -Oj flag):

$ timidity -Oj -iA
jack_client_new: deprecated
TiMidity starting in ALSA server mode
Opening sequencer port: 129:0 129:1 129:2 129:3
Couldn't start JACK device (`j')

(the last line of output happens when any MIDI device is connected to timidity, e.g. via qjackctl or rosegarden, no sound is produced even though it would with -Os [ALSA output])
Also I had the same result with both jack and jack2.

(Same problem in arch linux, so description taken from: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/40906 )

Same issue with 2,15 and the patch solve it.
