I'm new to fluid-dev.
I use Ubuntu Studio (9.04, Jaunty), and I have an external sound card:
Edirol UA-25EX (hw:1) and of course my laptop internal soundcard (hw:0)

But I can't start fluidsynth with alsa audio driver, connecting to my
external device (hw:1):
$ fluidsynth -m alsa_seq -a alsa -o audio.alsa.device='hw:1' -l
soundfont.sf2
and the reason is:
fluidsynth: error: Failed to find a workable audio format
trying with QSynth I can choose two sample formats: 16bits and float
From fluidsynth -o help I think that the parameter to configure is:
audio.sample-format STR [def='16bits']
Any ideas?
UA-25EX in "advanced mode" uses 24 bits samples. This sample format
is not yet
supportted by fluidsynth. You can switch off the "advanced mode" to use 16
bits samples.
