But it seems to work with timidity ...

# aconnect -ol | grep '^client.*TiMidity' | \
  sed -e s'/^client \([0-9]\+\):.*/\1/'

Although I installed the soundfonts now, it still does not work. :-(

Comment 4 Stefan Dirsch 2006-02-06 17:01:13 UTC 
Fix:

-               export SCUMMVM_PORT=65:0
+               client=`aconnect -ol | grep '^client.*WaveTable' | \
+                       sed -e s'/^client \([0-9]\+\):.*/\1/'`
+               if [ -n "$client" ]; then
+                   export SCUMMVM_PORT=${client}:0
+               fi

FOTAQ and BASS start scripts fixed for Beta4.
