Just emerged solfege for the first time, in a system otherwise perfectly functional, and it is not able to start due a possible python problem, or an alsa/oss problem? Using alsa with 2.4 kernel.

Created attachment 49310 [details] strace solfege
This was most likely a problem of configuration. With the new versions of solfege, like 2.4.0 or 2.5.1 this output is given when trying to use the /dev/sequencer for midi output. With the new versions of solfege the default is no midi so they start correctly, or at least this I think is the probelm.
