I think something's broken in CVS.

I tried compiling from the 0.1.3 release but need gcc 3, which I can't find for ubuntu 9.10.

I found a pre-packaged .deb that's been rock-steady at 5 - 25% CPU usage and no dropped notes/etc, so I'm pretty sure CVS is just b0rken.

*update*

OK, booted into a 9.04 install on one of my boxes and compiled CVS from scratch. Same problem.

Then compiled 0.1.3 from scratch. Works perfectly.

CVS is not building the waveform data. There's NO indication that it's even attempting to build waveform data. 0.1.3 builds all the normal files I expected to see.

If I had to guess, I'd say cvs was maybe trying to do real-time MT32 emulation instead of using the waveform data?

Hopefully I won't have any further issues.

Thanks for the help everyone!

As of the date of this edit (4-18-09), munt is currently in a state of development. The code branch, as it stands, may be in more CPU intensive than the previous stable release and notes may be incomplete as guppy and mok make new headway on what is shaping up to be a much better sounding emulator.

Sure wish I'd found that thread a lot earlier...

There's the URL with the functional .deb installer in case anyone's interested...

Which problem did you have with CVS, gcc v3 required, or high CPU usage?

Glad to hear you found something that works. Thanks for the link and followup.

0.1.3 required GCC 3 for compilation.

CVS compiles with 4.4, but has extremely high CPU usage.
