Hi David, >It is just important to remember not to link to anything released under GPL at the same time that we link to ASIO.<
Does that mean, a chain jOrgan (GPL) --> FS (LGPL) --> Jack --> ASIO raises licensing problems, in your eyes?

If someone would like to step up to test build every new release on windows, I would welcome that effort, and we could possibly extend that to distribute precompiled .exe/.dll stuff with our releases as well (as most windows users are not familiar with compiling programs themselves). > 1) Would it be possible to have a windows build released with both > dsound and jack drivers?

AFAIK, that would be as simple as having both development headers installed when configuring/compiling the program. Cmake (or the configure script) will then enable both drivers. > These requests are related to the jOrgan users group.

As for ASIO - and this is an answer to Bernd as well - I believe ASIO is incompatible with GPL, at least Audacity has come to that conclusion. That is not necessarily a problem for us, since both Jack and FS are under LGPL. It is just important to remember not to link to anything released under GPL at the same time that we link to ASIO. FluidSynth does not currently have a native ASIO backend, because noone has written such a backend. Based on my personal current interests I'm not likely to write such a backend in the near future, but I'll be happy to commit a patch from someone else in this matter. // David _______________________________________________ fluid-dev mailing list fluid-dev@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fluid-dev
