Comment 39 for bug 208068

In Hardy Heron LTS the problem is still present (I also installed freepats ma nothing new happens). Can you fix this in Hardy too? I hope it isn't like other bugs only fixed in Intrepid.
I think the fix should be ported to Hardy too or at least there should be a message in Hardy, when a user try to listen to midi files (you can do this in Totem as it's the default player in Ubuntu) that helps him to resolve the issue (for example: "to listen to midi files you have to install this package", or "to listen to midi files you have to do these steps" and so on).

I think we can standardize two types of patches:
1) one patch is the typical fix of a bug (made in the last stable release)
2) the second type of patch is a workaround (a message, a pop-up, etc) that helps user to resolve the bug in some way (that is "install a package", "do these steps", and so on). This type of patch is useful (and mandatory to do) when we cannot backport a fix into the previous supported distros (even if I think LTS should involve a major effort to patch backporting).
