Re: [fluid-dev] Fluidsynth's volume is too "dynamic"

[josh]

Hello,

It probably makes sense to add a FluidSynth setting to disable the  
EMU10K1 compatibility mode, like synth.volenv = "compliant" or "emu",  
with "emu" as the default.  I've added a ticket for this:
http://fluidsynth.resonance.org/trac/ticket/70
