Hello all

I just tried 269 and did some hot-plugging, to my heart's content and  
I am happy to report: no crashes at all.

I also rendered (again) two MIDI files (details below) without any  
overruns.

TARKUS.MID: Standard MIDI data (format 1) using 25 tracks at 1/120
chpn-p24.mid: Standard MIDI data (format 1) using 9 tracks at 1/480

$ fluidsynth -a jack -j -m coremidi -g 1.5 ~/Music/sf2/ 
GeneralUser_GS_FluidSynth_v1.43_RC1.sf2 ~/Music/MIDI/chpn-p24.mid
FluidSynth version 1.1.0

P.S. Talking about stress tests: during one fateful summer in the  
previous millenium and long before the advent of fluidsynth, my then  
ex-companion of the opposite gender rammed an ax into my synth  
keyboard. I am happy to say that I can still use this synth for MIDI  
sequencing. :-))
