Here is a better test case in my opinion. If you (reporter, or uploader, or Eric) agree, could you please update the test plan in the description?
To reproduce the bug: # download sample midi file from wikiepdia: wget https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/55/MIDI_sample.mid # play it with fluidsynth fluidsynth MIDI_sample.mid # at this point, you will actually be at a prompt. Wait for the song to play for a few seconds, then issue a stop command at that prompt: player_stop # And this is where the bug happens. Issue a continuation: player_cont And this is where things break: > player_cont > fluidsynth: error: The maximum playback duration has been reached. > Terminating player! With the fixed package, the audio resumes playback. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to fluidsynth in Ubuntu.

This will cause said player to be unable to playback again and perhaps even crash. See https://github.com/FluidSynth/fluidsynth/issues/1272, fix in https://github.com/FluidSynth/fluidsynth/commit/377ab9db2f87bc407eeb940e0361edc77da77055. This is the included patch with the upload of 2.3.3-2.1ubuntu-0.23.10.1 [ Test Case ] * See test in Comment 4 below (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fluidsynth/+bug/2047656/comments/4) [ What could go wrong ] This is actually a fix for a regression that was found in version 2.3.3 of fluidsynth and fixed for 2.3.4, which can be found in noble. I think the only thing that can go wrong here is that this patch is not the actual fix and we need to find more solutions within. I have tested this in my PPA and it *seems* to fix it, but it would be nice if the original reporter could verify once this lands in proposed. [ Other information ] Included below is the original report, in which case the reporter deduces that the problem is the binary being spat-out is the 2.3.2 version from the 2.3.3 sources. This is not the case, as it appears to be confusion due to the -2.1 Debian revision number. I assure, this is definitely the 2.3.3, and the bug, per the github link in the Impact section, is pertinent to this version. --- The latest package of fluidsynth should include the sources from version 2.3.3 but the binary includes only version 2.3.2 This version has a bug (see https://github.com/FluidSynth/fluidsynth/issues/1272), which leads to problems in EasyABC. Please include the latest version 2.3.3 from upstream in the ubuntu package. -- Description: Ubuntu 23.10 Release: 23.10 Codename: mantic $ apt-cache policy libfluidsynth3 libfluidsynth3: Installiert: 2.3.3-2.1 Installationskandidat: 2.3.3-2.1 Versionstabelle: *** 2.3.3-2.1 500 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu mantic/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fluidsynth/+bug/2047656/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-bugs Post to : ubuntustudio-bugs@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
