The ALSA sequencer buffer overrun error is a bug in FluidSynth, which
really warrants a release, in and of itself. Its fixed in CVS. As for
good low-latency Linux response, not sure what the best options are
these days, since I haven't played with it much with newer kernels. I
have heard though that unpatched the 2.6.x kernels can be either very
bad or moderately OK as far as latency, depending on which particular
version, etc. I think there are existing tools which help one to track
down sources of latency, since a single driver could in fact be the
culprit. Much luck. And if you do figure out a good combo and feel
like sharing the info, please do :)
