[fluid-dev] JACK connection problems with fluidsynth

[Shamus]

Hello everyone,

There was a problem with fluidsynth kicking out JACK on startup, which
was addressed with a patch as shown in the archives:

http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/fluid-dev/2011-02/msg00012.html

While this patch does indeed solve the problem of kicking out on
startup, there are at least two more places where this occurs (and there
may be others; I haven't done any exhaustive testing in that regard).
The first occurs when you reset fluidsynth; apparently it takes a
different path than the files that the patch touched. The same goes for
libfluidsynth: qsynth built from a patched fluidsynth displays the same
behaviors as an unpatched fluidsynth.

How to fix this is beyond me, I deal with microprocessor emulation, not
realtime audio. :-) However, I would be willing and able to test any
patches you care to send my way. ;-)

Warmest regards,

Shamus
