I now have bplay and timidity installed. Thanks for the help. When I run bplay as a user I get the following: bplay: setpriority: Permission denied: continuing anyway bplay: shmctl: Operation not permitted: continuing with unlocked buffers it still plays though. Does not happen as root. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to debian-user-request@lists.debian.org . Trouble? e-mail to templin@bucknell.edu .
