Maybe due to "bug-694260-freedink_stack_corruption.patch" [1], introduced to deal with [2]? Or one of the other two patches touching timidity.* code files, but don't seem directly relevant. [1] http://patch-tracker.debian.org/package/sdl-mixer1.2/1.2.12-9 [2] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=694260 The first patch seems to skip events if the events is for channel>=MAXCHAN, which were causing segfault when trying to play files from freedink. So maybe it's the file itself which contains information to play more channels than the ones supported by the software, standard, or defined in the file itself (I am not familiar with MIDI format/standards so maybe what I say is a bit stupid, but by the name of the variables it looks some problem of that sort, instructing to do things "out of bounds"). If that's the case and it's the file specifying wrong data, that would explain why fluidsynth doesn't play it well / at all. It would be great if you could recompile the deb package with that patch disabled and test it if plays the file, and other files of freedink, and see if it doesn't segfault (some modification of the current patch would be needed, I guess, that's why the patch was devised in the first place). I cannot spend too much time in the next few weeks and will be busy travelling, but if somebody finds a simple fix like disabling or the patch or enabling a modified one I can upload a new version.
