Thanks. I'll probably try to do this one day.

For now the problem is solved - Markus Nentwig from the fluid-dev list
has helped me set it up on oss. Here's my shell script for fluidsynth:

#!/bin/sh
nice -10 fluidsynth -m oss -o midi.oss.device="/dev/midi00" $1 $2 $3 $4 

I added the nice just to make sure. The -o idea was from Markus.
