First, thanks to Steve and Kai for the informations.
I have look at soundtracker. It's funny but in the Jack/application page 
it is noted that soundtracker is "jackified" since version 0.6.7 and on 
the soundtracker pages the last version is 0.6.6 and it is indicated 
that developement has been suspended. I have not check the CVS ... 
surely the place to go ;-)

Concerning Rosegarden, I have the same problem that Moeflon. vu-meter 
indicate that some sounds are played (well they are moving at least ...) 
but no sound at the output. Since it was my first attempt to play some 
soundfonts out of my SBlive, the problem may be somewhere else !!
