Thanks for a fast reply!
One of the soundfonts I tried was the flute soundfont from the
soundfonts.it. The direct URL to the soundfont is:
http://www.soundfonts.it/exec/zkdownload.pl?file=1115-FLUTE__Large.zip
It’s also available on this page:
http://www.soundfonts.it/?a=soundfonts&c=10#10
(it's the 2nd sound from the top)
The sound is fine until the vibrato comes and the sound starts looping.
I am using heavily modified Mdk 10.0 Community on an Amd64 3000+ (Mobile)
notebook running 32-bit Linux 2.6.7 kernel with many low-lat patches and
gizmos.
I tried both the latest tarball version of fluidsynth and the somewhat older
rpm version from Thac's rpm's. The result was the same in both cases.
Hope this helps!
Best wishes,
