Subject: playmidi should intercept ^C
Sender: owner-multimedia@freebsd.org
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk


Playing some Jazz midi files (the music style actually doesn't play
a role :) I found that ^C-ing during a midi playback can (with
around 50% hit probability) freezes my system while in X. 
Is anyone else seeing this. I did not try without X to eventually
see a panic or so. Will do later.

Next step would be thinking of how to get playmidi to intercept
the signal and exit gently.
