Description Lukasz Pawelczyk 2009-10-25 12:36:13 UTC
/etc/init.d/sfxload init script doesn't support ALSA:

* Loading sound font bank...
/dev/sequencer: No such file or directory

The reason is that I don't have OSS emulation compiled in my kernel, but since there is also asfxload program that supports alsa directly (and it works without any issues here) maybe this script could be configured to use either of those two?

Reproducible: Always

Addtionally there should be quotations marks in this line:

/usr/bin/(a)sfxload -q ${sfxbank}

around ${sfxbank}. Otherwise I can't load a file with a space inside filename.
