Anyone who knows a way to bypass the announced limitations?
Hi, while I agree with you that we are left without a choice in cases such
as firefox, I disagree that this is a firefox problem. The problem is
definitely in timidity as it hooks I guess directly to alsa and blocks any
other application.
There were suggestions made to use jack and when working with music
(timidity) you probably will have other benefits by using jack.
As of your remark - you stopped timidity - did you disable autostart before
rebooting. Chances are high you didn't and it autostarted blocking your
device again. In /etc/default/timidity
# uncomment to override enabling triggered by availability of
timidity-deamon
TIM_ALSASEQ=false

No, certainly you are right. So far my knowledge did not reach. Well, I
followed your instruction and made a reboot. And now the timidity daemon
was not there, at least according to the command "ps -ef | grep
timidity". Before the reboot it was. But the only result of this was
that none of my programmes delivered any sound, not Frescobaldi and not
Firefox. So what was the advantage? Is there no possibility to coexist
with Timidity (and Jack)? Before my latest upgrade, I now use version 61
of Firefox, they worked fine together, at least from my point of view. I
had sound in Firefox as well as Frescobaldi and Denemo (and Ardour). So
from with my horizon all has been a deterioration, even if I of course
does not realize all the difficulties you developers are meeting. On the
other hand, Timidity is a so much appreciated software, that it should
be a good thing learning to live together with it. A dialogue with the
Timidity guys perhaps? Regarding Ardour and the other music software I
can suspect it is not equally big, but we who use them will still
continue to do so, and not lose them.
Well Frescobaldi is working fine with Jack. Denemo seems to have its own
method for producing sound, and is working fine also without Timidity.
Regarding Ardour I do not know yet, I have not had the time to test.
