Package: prboom
Version: 2:2.2.6-1
Severity: important

prboom freezes after starting a game using freedoom when it first tries to
play a sound (for example when you first fire the pistol) if there is no
/etc/timidity/timidity.cfg

If I install timidity or even instead just do:
# mkdir /etc/timidity
# touch /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg
then it works fine, albeit with no music obviously. With timidity+freepats
the music works too.

The same problem happens playing using the Ultimate Doom WAD but less
reliably, sometimes it starts ok (playing sounds but not music) and then
freezes up a few seconds or minutes into play. Again, no problem if
/etc/timidity/timidity.cfg is there.

After it freezes I have to kill X, just killall'ing -9 prboom leaves the X
server not responding to the mouse (even if I ran prboom -nomouse)

Since prboom gets its MIDI synthesis from libsdl-mixer1.2 I guess the bug
could be partly or entirely there instead of in prboom, if so apologies for
misfiling the bug report.
