[linux-audio-user] Timidity and ALSA compile bug!

[jeffrey milton]

Whadyaknow!  It worked!  I got my version from what I thought was the 
offocial site (http://www.timidity.jp/dist/download.html).  Yes, indeed, 
it works fine now.  Thanks so much.

>Why are you trying to install version 2.9.5? That code in ancient. The ALSA API has changed significantly several times since that code was released. It's no wonder you can't get it to compile. I compiled 2.13.0_rc2 last night. Works great, not to mention it has jack support. http://timidity.sourceforge.net
