Hum yes I was afraid of it. No settings. But it doesn't work (lost notes) so I have to use timidity which is reasonably good for what I need. I miss the ability to load fonts on the fly and assign instruments. I will use swami to build my own soundfont. Anyway, as I'm quite dumb about it, can you enlighten me about what it means 'setuid root'? How exactly do I setuid root a prog (I have read about the 's' bit) ? Can I setuid any program (er... is it dangerous) ? Does any program 'setuid root' really run with roots provileges ? Thanks in advance.
