I start qjackctl which runs jackd (this is Fedora's jack 0.116.1-5) with /usr/bin/jackd -R -dalsa -dhw:0 -r44100 -p1024 -n2 -Xseq Then I start qsynth. As soon as I do this jack starts getting very many xruns and in about 10 seconds qjackctl exits with a SIGKILL, also killing jackd with itself along the way. Now I start qjackctl once more and click on "Restart" on already running qsynth. This time there are no xruns and jackd runs without problems. It's not desirable to use jack always with this workaround and I am not pushing the package to stable until the issue is resolved. Fernando, do you still develop jack? Do you know where the problem might be? As soon as I downgrade to fluidsynth-1.0.8 these symptoms disappear.
