Ok! A presupposition is: FluidSynth is compiled with jack support.

In first Xterm:
	$ su - 
	# jackd -d alsa

In 2nd Xterm:
	$ su -
	# fluidsynth -a jack <soundfontfile>

In 3rd Xterm:
	$ pmidi -list
	 Port     Client name                       Port name
	 64:0     Rawmidi 0 - Audigy MPU-401 (UA    Audigy MPU-401 (UART)
	 64:32    Rawmidi 0 - Audigy MPU-401 (UA    Audigy MPU-401 #2
	 65:0     Emu10k1 WaveTable                 Emu10k1 Port 0
	 65:1     Emu10k1 WaveTable                 Emu10k1 Port 1
	 65:2     Emu10k1 WaveTable                 Emu10k1 Port 2
	 65:3     Emu10k1 WaveTable                 Emu10k1 Port 3
	128:0     FLUID Synth (4187)                Synth input port (4187)

(Thinking: Aha! The FluidSynth ALSA-MIDI input port is 128:0)

	$ pmidi -p 128:0 <file>.mid  (NO ENTER!!!)


In 4rd Xterm:
	$ su -
	# jack_lsp 
	  alsa_pcm:capture_1
	  alsa_pcm:capture_2
	  alsa_pcm:playback_1
	  alsa_pcm:playback_2
	  fluidsynth:left
	  fluidsynth:right

(Thinking: Aha the 2 fluidsynth WAV output ports are named: "fluidsynth:left" and "fluidsynth:right")

	# jackrec -f <file>.wav -d 5 -b 16 fluidsynth:left fluidsynth:right (NO ENTER !!!)

Then: ENTER in 3rd Xterm and immediately in 4rd Xterm.

Why I must be root ? ---> Don't know!

I assume "jackrec -f <file>.wav -d 5 -b 16 fluidsynth:left fluidsynth:right"
means : add fluidsynth:left + fluidsynth:right. Perhaps it is stereo ???
