[fluid-dev] congratulations

[Ivan Z. Ganza]

Hi there!

I just wanted to off my congratulations and thanks to the developers
working on fluidsynth.  This is one of the few program I found that is
just ./configure; make; make install and all works great!

Have found one problem though.

On my system it seems to work fine when a process is sending it midi
events to play, however, after a period of a few seconds no activity,
the synth begins to spin my cpu at 100%.  This stop as soon as you
begin to us the synth again, then, if you stop, again, few seconds
later, same thing.

Did not look into the code myself so I have no clue why this is
happending.

(Oh, another thing, configure does not find jack even though I have it
installed)

Here is my system info:
