I couldn't resist replying to this mail. It seemed like a good opportunity
to bring out the soundfont synthesizer I've been working on.
It's 100% software and implements most of the SF2 specification.
It's still in early development stages and the TODO list is still pretty long
but it should compile and run. If anyone is willing to try it out, I've quickly
put together a release and a web page at http://www.hanappe.com/iiwusynth.html
It currently uses Alsa 0.9 but an OSS version will be ready soon.
Please mail me with your comments.
PS: Thank you, Josh, for the Smurf SoundFont Editor. I really love it.
It's been very helpful as an application and as a code base! Yes, your
name is in the AUTHORS and THANKS page ;)
