Package: alsa-base Version: 1.0.19.dfsg-1 Followup-For: Bug #519536
Once I had downgraded alsa-base to alsa-base 1.0.17.dfsg-4, I was able to load a soundfont file and play MIDI, but not before suspecting awesfx and alsa-source as the culprits (Debian bugs #519776 and #519777). There needs to be more troubleshooting information, *specifically* how the /dev/snd/* files get created by ALSA. Regards, Arthur. -- Package-specific info: --- Begin additional package status --- Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii libasound2 1.0.19-1 shared library for ALSA applications --- End additional package status --- --- Begin /proc/asound/version --- Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.16. --- End /proc/asound/version --- --- Begin /proc/asound/cards --- 0 [Live ]: EMU10K1 - SB Live 5.1 [SB0220] SB Live 5.1 [SB0220] (rev.10, serial:0x80651102) at 0xd800, irq 10 --- End /proc/asound/cards --- --- Begin /dev/snd/ listing --- total 0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 0 2009-03-15 17:44 controlC0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 4 2009-03-15 17:44 hwC0D0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 6 2009-03-15 17:44 hwC0D2 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 8 2009-03-15 17:44 midiC0D0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 9 2009-03-15 17:44 midiC0D1 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 10 2009-03-15 17:44 midiC0D2 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 24 2009-03-15 17:44 pcmC0D0c crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 16 2009-03-15 17:54 pcmC0D0p crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 25 2009-03-15 17:44 pcmC0D1c crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 26 2009-03-15 17:44 pcmC0D2c crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 18 2009-03-15 17:44 pcmC0D2p crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 19 2009-03-15 17:44 pcmC0D3p crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 1 2009-03-15 17:44 seq crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 33 2009-03-15 17:44 timer --- End /dev/snd/ listing --- -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages alsa-base depends on: ii linux-sound-base 1.0.19.dfsg-1 base package for ALSA and OSS soun ii lsof 4.81.dfsg.1-1 List open files ii module-init-tools 3.7-pre9-1 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii udev 0.125-7 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo Versions of packages alsa-base recommends: ii alsa-utils 1.0.16-2 ALSA utilities Versions of packages alsa-base suggests: pn alsa-oss <none> (no description available) ii apmd 3.2.2-12 Utilities for Advanced Power Manag ii oss-compat 0.0.4+nmu2 OSS compatibility package Versions of packages libasound2 depends on: ii libc6 2.9-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
