Exactly! You did it. 

Using a big period size (either 2048 or 4096 is enough) instead of the default 
size (64 in Linux) makes the test program to sound like a drunken drummer. Of 
course, using the right function: fluid_settings_setint(). I've attached the 
modified sources.

Now, the plan is to fix the problem. I guess you are going to apply a fix 
similar to your patch for the MIDI player. I also would like to test an 
additional approach, overhauling the current wall clock implementation.
