However the behaviour isn't as expected at least according to this (very
old post):

https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/fluid-dev/2004-02/msg00027.html

Ideally is there a way to have each channel routed to a separate audio
output on jack these days? Any help appreciated.

'-o synth.audio-groups=4' fails: `fluid_settings_getint' returns 1
after `process_o_cmd_line_option' (also tested with a printf).

sh> fluidsynth -a jack -o synth.audio-groups=4 <<< settings 2>/dev/null \
     | grep audio-groups
synth.audio-groups          1

Idem with "-o synth.audio-channels=4 -o synth.audio-groups=4",
but "-G 4" works:

sh> fluidsynth -a jack -G 4 <<< settings 2>/dev/null | grep audio-groups
synth.audio-groups          4

There is a comment in `src/fluidsynth.c:594':

   /* The 'groups' setting is only relevant for LADSPA operation
    * If not given, set number groups to number of audio channels, because
    * they are the same (there is nothing between synth output and 'sound card')
    */

tested with:

sh> fluidsynth -a jack -L 4 <<< settings 2>/dev/null | grep audio-groups
synth.audio-groups          4

The follow example works (audio.jack.multi=no by default):

sh> fluidsynth -a jack -L 4
load /usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2
select 0 1 0 0
select 1 1 0 20
select 2 1 0 30
select 3 1 0 40


Thanks for testing... However I'm not really sure what to make out of that apart from assuming that the use case isn't directly covered by fluidsynth?

I imagine the easiest workaround would be starting multiple fluidsynth instances, maybe lowering poliphony (not sure what impact this has on resource consumption), possibly scripting it...

Lorenzo.
