[SuSE Linux] Method for replying
by t3＠wolfenet.com 30 Jun '99

30 Jun '99

Hi Folks: I'm wondering if anyone else has gotten frustrated with reply threads that get "lost" in the middle (where someone replies only to the sender, not the list, and a reply from the sender is then sent to the list) so that interim information can get left out. Or the condition where we never hear the reply at all. How about sending all replies back to the list unless there is a privacy concern. I find I learn as much from the replies to other peoples questions as I do from my own questions.

[SuSE Linux] Hyper-speed sound playback with UMP Netscape Plug-in?
by tschlemmer＠sequeltech.com 30 Jun '99

30 Jun '99

I've noticed that sound it somewhat broken since I upgraded from 6.0 to 6.1. I have s SB16 card and have built the appropriate kernel modules. I can play .wav and .mid files from the KDE supplied players. Where playback is broken is when I encounter MIDI files embedded in HTML files. I have the UMP plug-in installed for Netscape and that uses TiMidity and so I have that installed as well. I've been using this plug-in setup since I first started using SuSE Linux 5.2 and it has worked quite well up until I upgraded to 6.1. Now when I access an HTML file with an embedded MIDI file, the sound plays but it is super super fast. The playback of a MIDI file that might normally take 30 seconds or more now takes only a fews seconds and it's done. As far as I can tell the entire MIDI file is being played. The tempo is so greatly increased that the playback finishes in only a few seconds. Is UMP/Timidity broken when used in conjunction with a 2.2.x kernel?

I've tried _all_ the possible directories. YaST seems to be looking for a file called suse, which it can't find.
