Subject: timidity: Difficult to set up Timidity to work with PulseAudio. Package: timidity Version: 2.13.2-37 Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Dear Debian hackers,
I am running PulseAudio and I am getting the following error message.
$ LANG=C sudo -u timidity timidity -Os -iA
No protocol specified
XOpenDisplay() failed
Home directory /home/joe not ours.
W: core-util.c: Failed to open configuration file
'/home/joe/.pulse//daemon.conf': Permission denied
W: daemon-conf.c: Failed to open configuration file: Permission denied
ALSA lib pulse.c:229:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect:
Connection refused
Can't open pcm device 'default'.
Couldn't open ALSA pcm device (`s')
The solution is written down in `README.Debian` and [1] I guess. But
this in my opinion very cumbersome.
What are possible solution to this?
1. Check for PulseAudio during install time and have a Debconf dialog to
ask for the configuration?
2. Fix Timidity upstream to support and detect PulseAudio natively?
3. …
Thanks,
Paul
