Re: [fluid-dev] static in output

[Josh Green]

Also make sure you are running FluidSynth as root for low latency
SCHED_FIFO scheduling, or alternatively increase audio card buffer size
and count (thus increasing latency). Like Garett mentioned, some more
info about when static is heard (particular to certain instruments,
related to system load, constantly heard, etc) would be helpful.
