Hello!
The problem with starting fluidsynth was indeed the result of a vesion
difference between alsa-driver and alsa-lib. The alsa-driver in th
ekernel proved to be 0.9.0rc6; I got the corresponding alsa-lib from the
ALSA project site (still works only by IP for me), and compiled it from
source; and now it loads.
But, it shows a strange warning:
===
fluidsynth: warning: The sample rate is set to 44100, the synthesizer
may be out of tune
fluidsynth: warning: Requested a period size of 64, got 65 instead
** Using format s16, rw, interleaved
===
I don't really want the synthesizer to be out of tune. So I'd like to
understand what's going on here. (This message does not appear is I run
fluidsynth with -a oss)
