Hi all! I'm convinced you are all very proud and happy of PulseAudio. But read what I had to write to the many NtEd (http://vsr.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/staff/jan/nted/nted.xhtml) users which have no hardware MIDI synthesizer und rely to TiMidity++ (http://timidity.sourceforge.net/) http://vsr.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/staff/jan/nted/doc/ch01s50.html This text is an own chapter of the NtEd documentation. Many users wrote me they cannot longer use the NtEd replay. And indeed, as I installed Ubuntu 9.10 or Fedora 11, respectively, - where Pulsaudio is the basic audio system - I experienced sound distortions and hanging sound. The only remedy: Wipe out PulseAudio! Sometimes it suffices to create a Non-PulsAudio-TiMidity++ "by hand". But in some tougher cases the only way is to remove PulseAudio from system. I'm convinced there are still more sequencer-like applecations which have the same problem. -- J.Anders, GERMANY, TU Chemnitz, Fakultaet fuer Informatik
