if there is anything else you want me to try with your special development level of Fluidsynth. Otherwise, I will probably install the earlier version to avoid the memory-usage problems.

Matt: Thanks for the information, and responding. I successfully compiled FluidSynth (1.1.3) on Ubuntu 11.10, and installed it, and the problem went away. In trying the newly-compiled 1.1.3 version out, I first used it without JACK, and it worked as in the prior Ubuntu release (11.04),

Matt: I need JACK because I include audio files in my sequences. I can even use it on a 450 megahertz machine. I've learned a lot about using it in the past few years. I use Rosegarden, and it's easiest to record audio tracks using Rosegarden. I have learned how to use FluidSynth both ways,
