[PlanetCCRMA] No sound from swami

[John Dey]

Hi All,

I am trying to use swami for the first time.  The CCRMA version is 
loaded.   Fluidsynth loads fonts and plays midi by itself.  It appears 
that swami is not configured correctly to interface with fluidsynth.  
Any help would be greatly appreciated.  The details from a session are 
presented below.  Thanks.

John

FROM TERMINAL SCREEN:

[robo5@robo5 HW2]$ /usr/bin/swami new.sf2 &

I then:

Load sound fonts and intrument (Piano 1) from swami.  No sound occurs 
when the piano keys are pressed.  Lines apprear under keyboard leading 
me to believe that fonts are loaded.

I then Edit->Preferences and note:

Audio Driver
   Type AUTO
   Device blank Default checked
   Buffer Size 16 Buffer Count 2

MIDI Driver
   Type NONE
   Device bland Default checked

I tried different configurations jack, alsa, etc.  Setting don't seem 
to be saved because the old preferences pop up with is try preferences 
again.
