Greetings.
fluidsynth.lua is now at 1.6:
http://www.pjb.com.au/comp/lua/fluidsynth.html
and
http://www.pjb.com.au/midi/fluadity.html
now has a fluadity -d option, which starts it running
as a daemon eg: from /etc/rc.local. It's now my
export ALSA_OUTPUT_PORTS=Fluidity
and should get a good road-test.
I noticed after I call new_fluid_synth and new_fluid_audio_driver
then it starts eating about 7% of my CPU, even though nothing is
being input or output, no midi_player is running, and no SoundFonts
have even been loaded. I suppose there's a reason for this...
