[linux-audio-user] Re: [fluid-dev] Fwd: [linux-audio-dev] QSynth/fluidsynth having problems with looped soundfonts

[Josh Green]

There are quite a lot of SoundFont files with bad loops. Its certainly
possible there is a bug in FluidSynth as well, though. Some verification
has been done with FluidSynth and its synthesis output but I think more
detailed analysis would probably turn up some issues.
