[fluid-dev] Problem running fluidsynth

[Andy Gimblett]

Hi there,

I'm having a problem running fluidsynth and was wondering if anyone
could help me out.  It compiles fine, but when run, it produces error
messages along these lines:

address@hidden gimbo] fluidsynth 
fluidsynth: error: Failed to set the sample rate
Failed to create the audio driver

address@hidden audigy_cd] fluidsynth synths_keys.sf2 
fluidsynth: warning: Failed to pin the sample data to RAM; swapping is possible.
fluidsynth: error: Failed to set the sample rate
Failed to create the audio driver

I'm running gentoo linux on a 2.4.20 kernel with alsa 0.9.2r6 and a
Soundblaster Audigy Platinum Ex.  Sound and MIDI are working in other
applications (eg xmms, aconnect, aseqview, sfxload all act as I would
want them to).

Any ideas on how to proceed?  Am I doing something stupid?  :-)

Thanks in advance for any help,

Andy
