Package: awesfx Version: 0.5.0b-2 Severity: normal /usr/share/doc/awesfx/README.Debian states:
Default soundfont search path is /usr/share/sounds/sf2 in my packages, although /usr/share/sfbank and /usr/local/lib/sfbank will also work. Let's see: stranger:~# ls /usr/local/lib/sfbank 2gmgsmt.sf2 4gmgsmt.sf2 8mbgmsfx.sf2 stranger:~# asfxload 8mbgmsfx sfxload: can't find font file 8mbgmsfx stranger:~# asfxload 8mbgmsfx.sf2 sfxload: can't find font file 8mbgmsfx.sf2 The man page states: -P, --path=path1:path2:pathN Specify the search path list. The sound files are searched from path1, path2, and so on. This overrides both the system path and environment variable SFBANKDIR. Let's see again: stranger:~# asfxload --help 2>&1 | grep path -P, --path=dir set SoundFont file search path system default path is /usr/share/sounds/sf2/ stranger:~# asfxload --path=/usr/local/lib/sfbank 8mbgmsfx asfxload: unrecognized option `--path=/usr/local/lib/sfbank' stranger:~# asfxload -P /usr/local/lib/sfbank 8mbgmsfx.sf2 asfxload: invalid option -- P *** not a RIFF file awe: can't load SoundFont /usr/local/lib/sfbank stranger:~# SFBANKDIR=/usr/local/lib/sfbank asfxload 8mbgmsfx sfxload: can't find font file 8mbgmsfx So neither is /usr/local/lib/sfbank in the default soundfont search path nor does asfxload seem to support any way to change the search path unlike documented. Just to confirh that the file is fine and that omitting the suffix works: stranger:~# cd /usr/local/lib/sfbank stranger:/usr/local/lib/sfbank# asfxload 8mbgmsfx stranger:/usr/local/lib/sfbank# elmar -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-bdclaim Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages awesfx depends on: ii libasound2 1.0.10-2 ALSA library ii libc6 2.3.5-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an awesfx recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- .'"`. /"\ | :' : Elmar Hoffmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ / `. `' PGP key available via pgp.net against HTML email X `- & vCards / \ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
