[LAU] Timidity "popping" sound

I'm trying to set my laptop up as a one-man-band. Getting pretty close with my new, cheap, usb audio interface (much better sound that the internal). But, one problem remains. I play a midi file with timidity and before and after each play there is a audible "pop" or click sound. I assume this is the audio turning on/off??? This happens when the playback starts and about 1 or 2 seconds after it is done ... timidity is finished at that time. Assuming it's an on/off problem, is there anyway to tell the system to leave the audio on? -- **** Listen to my CD at http://www.mellowood.ca/music/cedars **** Bob van der Poel ** Wynndel, British Columbia, CANADA ** EMAIL: bob(a)mellowood.ca WWW:   http://www.mellowood.ca
