Package: awesfx
Version: 0.5.0b-2
Severity: normal
/usr/share/doc/awesfx/README.Debian states:
Default soundfont search path is /usr/share/sounds/sf2 in my packages,
although /usr/share/sfbank and /usr/local/lib/sfbank will also work.
Let's see:
stranger:~# ls /usr/local/lib/sfbank
2gmgsmt.sf2 4gmgsmt.sf2 8mbgmsfx.sf2
stranger:~# asfxload 8mbgmsfx
sfxload: can't find font file 8mbgmsfx
stranger:~# asfxload 8mbgmsfx.sf2
sfxload: can't find font file 8mbgmsfx.sf2
The man page states:
-P, --path=path1:path2:pathN
Specify the search path list. The sound files are searched from
path1, path2, and so on. This overrides both the system path
and environment variable SFBANKDIR.
Let's see again:
stranger:~# asfxload --help 2>&1 | grep path
-P, --path=dir set SoundFont file search path
system default path is /usr/share/sounds/sf2/
stranger:~# asfxload --path=/usr/local/lib/sfbank 8mbgmsfx
asfxload: unrecognized option `--path=/usr/local/lib/sfbank'
stranger:~# asfxload -P /usr/local/lib/sfbank 8mbgmsfx.sf2
asfxload: invalid option -- P
*** not a RIFF file
awe: can't load SoundFont /usr/local/lib/sfbank
stranger:~# SFBANKDIR=/usr/local/lib/sfbank asfxload 8mbgmsfx
sfxload: can't find font file 8mbgmsfx
So neither is /usr/local/lib/sfbank in the default soundfont search
path nor does asfxload seem to support any way to change the search path
unlike documented.
Just to confirh that the file is fine and that omitting the suffix
works:
stranger:~# cd /usr/local/lib/sfbank
stranger:/usr/local/lib/sfbank# asfxload 8mbgmsfx
stranger:/usr/local/lib/sfbank#
