Re: [fluid-dev] pause or suspend fluidsynth?

[Peter Hanappe]

Hi Garett,

I won't be of much help with this, I'm afraid. You might want to
try to send a signal to the audio thread only. The audio thread
is probably the second process you see, in order of growing PID numbers.

I've put the issue as a request on the todo list.

Cheers,
P
