Re: [fluid-dev] No sound from fluidsynth

[Jose Diago]

Hello all.

Ok, so after some suggestions from Markus Nentwig and Krozilo I could 
finally test fluidsynth and get some sound out of it. I don't need to 
play midifiles using FS but instead use it in "realtime" mode by 
"feeding" it from a MidiShare application.

So now I will like to know how to get it working properly with 
midishare. The main problem is that I don't know how to get fluidsynth 
registered as a MidiShare application in msconnect, it doesn't work 
just by running FS.

Any clues?

Thanks for reading,
Jose Diago.
