A couple of big requests related to having a release:
First, so far we
have not released windows .exe or .dll files, but
released source code
only. If someone would like to step up to test
build every new release on
windows, I would welcome that effort, and we
could possibly extend that to
distribute precompiled .exe/.dll stuff
with our releases as well (as most
windows users are not familiar with
compiling programs
themselves).

I'm not an expert
on that area, but I don't think there should be a
problem with doing
so.

AFAIK, that would be as simple as having both development headers
installed when configuring/compiling the program. Cmake (or the
configure script) will then enable both drivers.

As for ASIO
- and this is an answer to Bernd as well - I believe ASIO is
incompatible
with GPL, at least Audacity has come to that conclusion.
That is not
necessarily a problem for us, since both Jack and FS are
under LGPL. It is
just important to remember not to link to anything
released under GPL at
the same time that we link to ASIO.
FluidSynth does not currently have
a native ASIO backend, because noone
has written such a backend. Based on
my personal current interests I'm
not likely to write such a backend in
the near future, but I'll be happy
to commit a patch from someone else in
this matter.
