Bug#904098: pulseaudio: Pulseaudio only provides Dummy Output until timidity is killed

2019-04-11 Thread Marco Mattiolo
Hi,

just needed to thank you for reporting this: I just upgraded my system 
to Buster (as it is freezed, I hoped for the best) and the only sound 
output in KDE system manager was 'dummy', no audio output. Removing 
timidity got audio back working.

Now I'm not able to change audio output through system tray icon or even 
system manager: changing audio configuration is possible only through 
Pavucontrol.

Definitely an annoying bug!

Kind regards

Marco
