Comment 7 for bug 34831

Hi,

I'm using nforce2 chipset from nvidia:

$ sudo lsmod | grep snd | cut -f1 -d' '
snd_intel8x0
snd_ac97_codec
snd_ac97_bus
snd_pcm_oss
snd_mixer_oss
snd_pcm
snd_timer
snd
soundcore
snd_page_alloc

I did the upgrade from breezy but will check if same occurs with live cd. Perhaps the problem is that alsa doesn't seem to detect the hardware synth (maybe it's not supported?) and I suppose doesn't load the midi module. Of course neither timidity or rosegarden will work until snd_seq_midi is loaded. So the question is: whose responsibility is it to load the module?

I'm also tempted to file a bug against alsa since clearly rosegarden should not be able to crash the whole system no matter what it does.
