Stretch on PI3 - No sound with timidity

Mon Sep 04, 2017 12:38 pm

Audio output is OK with many apps using the hdmi output, but with :

Code: Select all

timidity afile.mid
=> no sound

Code: Select all

timidity Ow -oafile.wav afile.mid
does outputs afile.wav, i.e. timidity actualy turns a midi file into a wave file, that's mainly its job and I can play this file with the alsa player.
If I try to direct the output to alsa :

Code: Select all

timidity -Os afile.mid 
I don't get any more sound and I have to kill timidity. Same issue even if I launch the alsa daemon. Same issue again with others soft synths, except Sonic Pi.
It seems to be an alsa problem. Timidity works well with Jessie. Any idea ?
