I did search the Debian archive for soundfonts, but I failed to find fluid-soundfont-gm. Why? Am I dumb? Yes, I am indeed dumb, but that does *not* seem to be the reason why I failed to find the package... ;-) According to http://packages.qa.debian.org/f/fluid-soundfont.html the fluid-soundfont-gm package was first uploaded to Debian unstable on March 2008, while I submitted the bug report on January 2008! More recently, I noticed this package named "fluid-soundfont-gm" and I thought that maybe it could be used to solve my issue with AMIDI-plug: unfortunately I haven't found the time to check, so far... :-( I will try and see if it works for me.

No, it's not an obscure trick, but it could be included in the Suggests field of audacious-plugins, anyway... -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/progs/scripts/pdebuild-hooks.html Need some pdebuild hook scripts? .....................................................
