While using other audio programs: I think it's a problem with ports or
maybe Pulse audio.
It's not about Fresco or Debian update, today at first start everything
works fine.

Here's a good hint: yesterday when I couldn't hear any sound while
playing Midi, I tried to play with the Midi preferences and Fresco could
see only Midi-Through port 0 (no timidity ports). Even if I refreshed
the Midi ports.

Today however it does see them and it works fine.
I'm trying to reproduce the problem but I can't.

It was just visually playing but silent

I have python-pypm installed.

Yes, timidity is started on system startup.

I've tried to reinitialize the MIDI ports list but for some reasons it
didn't work: I could see no timidity ports (as I said before).

Sorry, I didn't mention it in my first email as I didn't remember my
usual Midi settings in Frescobaldi (because I've never had any problem
so far).

Cheers,
Federico
