Hi I am using a soundfont called Unison.SF2 that was linked from here on another thread I made some time ago, it is located in my ~/, so it's ~/Unison.SF2. I get this error randomly (it seems after a "while" of playing various tab files):
"~ # Requested buffer size 32768, fragment size 8192
ALSA pcm 'default' set buffer size 30104, period size 3760 bytes
TiMidity starting in ALSA server mode
Opening sequencer port: 128:0 128:1 128:2 128:3
Requested buffer size 32768, fragment size 8192
ALSA pcm 'default' set buffer size 30104, period size 3760 bytes
/home/bobby/Unison.SF2: No such file or directory
Can't open soundfont file ~/Unison.SF2"
But it works just fine, it just seems to be unable to locate it for some reason at random times. Any ideas?? I just wind up having to kill the timidity process and run it again, but it's frustrating when I have a bunch of tab files open and I have to close them all and reopen :(

Hi Colbert, please understand we are not timidity developers.
we can help you recommending it, and telling you how to start it.
but is very hard to help with this kind of problems if we don't have idea how timidity internally works.
The only what i can see on your log is this:
/home/bobby/Unison.SF2: No such file or directory
That error means the file don't exists.. but if you restart and it works, so the file should exists.. so maybe timidity throws "no such file or directory" when it can't open a soundfont (assuming it don't exists, while the error was other thing).
> it seems after a "while" of playing various tab files
Do you have that files openned at same time ? (i mean, a lot of tuxguitar instances ? )
if yes, i think maybe the problem here is "multiple" connections to same port.
Everytime you open tuxguitar, it connects to alsa -> timidity port.
If you open 10 tuxguitar instances, you are making 10 connections to same port.
maybe timidity has a connection limitation.
