At least to me.
Last Monday 09 August 2004 23:50, John Check was
like:
MusE-0.7 will be included in the distro as soon as that, yes. I have had
some problems with the 0.6.x releases of MusE under AGNULA, so Mark's
problems may not all be due to lack of understanding.
The 0.6.2/3 releases were... uh.. suboptimal.

What soundcard do you have?

I'm fairly sure that you are correct.
I guess
AGNULA has MusE 0.6.3 ? With the config you are suggesting this
should work fine, stability wise 0.7 would be better but it requires
jack at the moment which is another obstacle to overcome.
I gave agnula a spin a couple days ago. It's pretty much "point and
shoot" once it's installed. it has ALSA and it includes MusE 6.3.
If I understand how agGNUla works 0.7 MusE will filter down from Debian
testing. 0.7 hasn't hit Debian unstable yet. Pretty sure
the fine folks at Agnula have the mixer volumes up by
default, but you may want to check on that if you haven't.
Synth software is outputting PCM streams either to /dev/dsp or to jack
ports, for the latter case you may have to connect the ports "by hand"
Volumes are up by default only in the latest release candidates of
A/DeMuDi-1.2.0. This is actually an FAQ and most of the answers can be
found here:

check that /dev/dsp* /dev/mixer* belong to the right (audio) group, they
don't by default - also check that _you_ do, the latter is set by default.
I've been considering starting an AGNULA config wiki page, but have not
done so yet because it represents a considerable duplication of info,
however, repeated questions like this make me think that there _is_ a need.
Mark, please let me know what remains unclear. The
best place for this
conversation would really be users(a)lists.agnula.org or even directly
through http://wiki.agnula.org - I shall start a config page there in the
next few days.
