Bug Description

Binary package hint: pmidi

This bug was originally reported by fueryuejing.
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-jp-improvement/+bug/307143

pmidi use wrong device number on multi port midi file and send SysEx
all ports. This problem is caused in src/midiread.c:257-264.
Further information is following:

a. Device num (msp->device) and port num (msp->port) is served to deal multi
 port if channel num is over 16. For example, if port num is 0 and
 channel is 2, then device num become 16*0+(2-1)=1. If port num is 2 and
 channel is 14, then device num become 16*2+(14-1)=45.
b. Therefore if status byte (status) is channel message (0x80-0xef),
 destination device num of message must be "port(msp>-port)*16+channel(ch)".
c. However if status byte is SysEx message (0xf0-0xff), device num must eqaul
 to "port(msp->port)*16", because this message is not channel specified.
d. In source code at this time, if pmidi is recived SysEx message,
 debice num(msp->device) will be 0, even use any port and channel num.
e. This patch is that default device num set to
 "port(msp>-port)*16+channel(ch)".
 And add channel num to device num, if message is not SysEx.

Thanks for the patch! Could this be forwarded to Debian or upstream? It could be interesting to see their opinions too.

I had send the patch to upstream author.
And his reply was:

However there is not new upstream release yet.

Hi,

I am going to upload this with a couple of changes

 - Need to update the maintainer for Ubuntu-modified package
 - Do not apply lintian fixes. Thanks for doing this, but we generally try to keep the diff over Debian as small as possible, and as these aren't causing problems for us, we don't need to take them in Ubuntu.
 - Version should be ubuntu1 when we make changes. The "build1" version indicated a no-change rebuild, but here we are making actual modifications to the source.

Could you attach the diff (minus the changelog entry, but including the lintian fixes) to the Debian bug so that we can hopefully sync next time?

Thanks for your contribution to Ubuntu.
