FluidSynth has been a little quite for a while (as well as my own
project) but things seem to be picking up again. One of the developers,
Markus Nentwig, is doing lots of optimization work. We were just
recently making a list of future plans, one of them being sample
streaming support (including disk streaming). I really think that
Swami/FluidSynth are quite nice and that a lot of people are missing out
by not trying them :) Cheers.
