Buffer fragments (-B2,8) cause 40-50 % CPU usage.

Bug Description

Binary package hint: timidity

While buffer fragments (-B2,8 command line argument) have been disabled before in /etc/default/timidity,
they aren't in the /etc/init.d/timidity sequencer script.

As a result, when an app like DOSBox uses the sequencer, then it (the sequencer) consumes 40-50 % CPU usage.

For now, what can be done is to edit /etc/init.d/timidity (with root privileges)
and change this:
TIM_ALSASEQPARAMS="-B2,8"
into this:
TIM_ALSASEQPARAMS=
