"Also halving the sample rate with the flag '-r22050' helps a lot." I doubt the above advice would be beneficial for latency. On the contrary, running FluidSynth with a native sound card sample rate will give the better results, because reducing the sample rate requires ALSA to perform software interpolation (by the plughw: layer) to transform the buffers into the native frequency before sending it to the hardware. This requires larger buffers and consumes CPU cycles. On the other hand, using the native frequency allows you to use the hw: interface directly. By the way, which netbook are we talking about? Which Linux distro? Regards, Pedro _______________________________________________ fluid-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fluid-dev
