I would love to. I'm sure if I can make the time for it.
Also financially I'm in a bad shape... Anyway, I will try.

BTW, Does anyone has some nice musical examples. I keep using
the same examples. Also, I mainly use iiwuplay since I'm not a
passionate a keyboard player. Some cool soundfont that sound well
even when played with one finger ;)

Yes, the iiwusynth is doing quite well (thanks to Markus!)


I'm picking up on Swami again. I updated the CVS version of both
swami and libsoundfont and I got this error while compiling Swami:

Making all in libswami
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/swami/src/libswami'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `configure.in', needed by 
`Makefile.in'.  Stop.

Seems like you forgot to add configure.in to CVS.

Control change messages #120 and #123 should provide that. I'll put
it on my TODO list ;)

So far, I haven't had a lot of succes with Swami. The last version
crashed when I opened the 2Mb soundfont from Creative Labs.
I'll check the CVS version when you added the configure.in file.
