Package: playmidi
Version: 2.4debian-4
Severity: normal
I just noticed that my 'everything is played waaaayyyy too fast' problem
is solved, if I play everything with
playmidi -t10 <file>
(If I use the "-r" parameter, the behaviour changes:
with -t10:
the music is too slow
without -t10:
the tempo is correct, but the beat is very uneven, can
the 400MHz CPU be overloaded with the text output??? It
is 95% idle...
)
I don't know if the error is in playmidi or in the kernel driver
(playmidi is the only 'real' midi player I found), but I suspect this
may be connected to the changed system time frequency ($HZ) in the 2.6
kernel. (2.4: 100Hz, 2.6: 1000Hz or (later 2.6es) configurable with
default 250Hz). Not able to test this, I just file the bug against the
player program, where it manifests itself; please reassign, if
necessary.
I have a trusty old ISA "SB16 value" card, which for some reason only
works with the OSS driver, modules "sb" and "opl3" (the ALSA driver doesn't
detect the hardware, shame on the developers/testers!).
