Version: 0.9.0rc7-4
Severity: important

  Kernel: 2.4.20 (custom build)
  Sound card: emu10k1 (SBLive 5.1 Digital)
  Built using: gcc 2.95.4-17 / libc6 2.3.1-13

SEQ_START_TIMER(), if used more than once for a given /dev/sequencer session,
causes odd things to happen. I'm not quite sure what's going on here, but
investigaton using lxmusserv and rosegarden shows that timer events seem to
be occurring in bursts.

With Doom, let some piece of music be repeated then try to do something
(start a game, quit) and you'll find that it doesn't happen immediately;
instead, it happens some time later; mwanwhile, the same music continues to
be played as the game engine is blocked, waiting for musserv to read in the
new music data.

With rosegarden, the effect can be seen by starting, stopping and restarting
the music: watch the timer apparently make several large jumps (each
corresponding to many SNDCTL_SEQ_SYNC + SEQ_WAIT_TIME pairs) instead of lots
of small jumps (each of which corresponds to one SNDCTL_SEQ_SYNC +
SEQ_WAIT_TIME pair).

(See also bug 180932, which works around this issue for lxmusserv.)

I am closing bug reports against alsa-source that are more than one year
old and that relate to upstream aspects of the package.  The reports are
too old to be of any use now.
