[fluid-dev] Jack and CoreAudio are mutually exclusive

[Ebrahim Mayat]

Hello again

I just tried 271 and sound driver function has changed as follows:

If Jack is linked during compilation, fluidsynth can be run with jack  
as the audio driver  but it cannot be run with the coreaudio driver:

$ fluidsynth -a coreaudio  ~/sf2/GeneralUser_GS_FluidSynth_v1.43_RC1.sf2
FluidSynth version 1.1.0

fluidsynth: error: Failed to get the default buffer size
Failed to create the audio driver

The only way I can run fluidsynth with coreaudio is to first remove  
and trash my Jack installation and then build fluidsynth without Jack.

$ fluidsynth -a coreaudio  ~/GeneralUser_GS_FluidSynth_v1.43_RC1.sf2
FluidSynth version 1.1.0

Is this by design ?

I do not presently use Firewire audio interfaces so I cannot say if  
Firewire sound drivers (libffado?) can or cannot co-exist with Jack.
