This is a common myth.
Jack provides low latency routing *between applications*, for instance if you
want to use the output of fluidsynth as input of another program like an
effects processor or a recording application. But for the simple use case of
fluidsynth output to the sound card, there is no advantage over using ALSA
directly.

Or use "-a pulseaudio" for PulseAudio, available on all modern Linux
distributions.
