Bug#901931: the soundsystem still breaks after todays timidity and timidity-daemon upgrade to 2.14.0-8

[Gabriele Stilli]

Hi,

I think the problem is related to the fact that, on a Debian system
running pulseaudio, timidity-daemon still tries to add the "timidity"
user to the "audio" group. It shouldn't. On such systems (at least those
where the pulseaudio daemon is not being run system-wide) the "audio"
group should be empty. This is well explained here:
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/PerfectSetup/
section «Should users be in the "audio" group?».

Emptying the "audio" group and rebooting the box fixed the issue.

(To whoever might read: only do this after taking precautions)

Hope this helps. Thanks for your work!

Cheers,
Gabriele :-)

please do an apt-get remove timidity-daemon if you do not need it

Dear Maintainer,

sadly the bug still appears after todays system upgrade, which also 
upgraded timidity and timidity-daemon to version 2.14.0-8.


What kind of system information do you need to reproduce the situation?

Kind regards,
