Hi, My main reason for using Cygwin Ports was FluidSynth: I want to use libfluidsynth-devel in some software I'm writing, playing back in realtime.
However, my initial experiments aren't working well at all. I took the files example.c and example.sf2 from the examples/ directory in a much older version of libfluidsynth-dev I have installed on a Debian Linux box, and tried to run those under Cygwin. No problem compiling, but the audio sounded... well, weird, for want of a better word. I tried changing the audio driver with fluid_settings_setstr (settings, "audio.driver", "portaudio"); immediately before the driver was initialised, and that changed the results, but it wasn't exactly an improvement: now I just got noise! Just to verify it is actually working correctly, I changed it again to write to a file, then played that file back with mplayer. This time, the audio came out exactly as I'd have expected - and exactly the same as on the Debian box. So, bottom line: the only audio drivers compiled in seem to be file, PulseAudio and PortAudio, but the out-of-the-box settings for both PulseAudio and PortAudio don't seem to result in the expected audio. Could anyone give me any hints here - or, if not, suggest who I should be asking? Thanks, and best wishes, Nikhil. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?
