Subject: Please enable midi support by depending on libfluidsynth1

Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2009 10:36:13 +0200

Package: vlc
Version: 0.9.9a-2

VLC now uses fluidsynth for midi file playback, but it needs to be
enabled at compile time (this can probably be fixed by build-depending
on libfluidsynth1), and then properly configured.

See more information here:

Thanks,

thanks

   Hello,

Newer Debian VLC provides a vlc-plugin-fluidsynth package with the
Fluidsynth plugin that you requested.
Please beware that libfluidsynth leaks memory like hell so you might have
some issues with it...

Best regards,

Hi Remi and thanks for your answer. I'm a FluidSynth developer myself 
and not aware of any current memory leak issues, and AFAIK it hasn't 
been reported on the fluid-dev mailinglist or ticket system, and does 
not seem to affect other users of libfluidsynth (or I assume we would 
have heard about it).

In what form would you prefer we work together to resolve this memory 
leak issue?
